<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2492429, member: 76194&quot;]You are right, it is 1971.

I was overwhelmed at first, but after a little bit of practice, I&#039;ve become quite used to having almost no images to go by, and how to find coins solely based on a description.

They practically are growing up with high speed internet and tablets, and HD images and video being available for everything. I don&#039;t know if they&#039;d be able to cope with something like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone needs to re-do this book for 21st century collectors. A digital copy with HD images for every coin would sell really well, I think. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>PS: Look at those prices: $2-$5, with the few rare issues not exceeding $100. I wish I could go back in time with the money I have now and do a little Postumus shopping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
