<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 263863, member: 68&quot;]There are some major rarities from the &#039;70&#039;s that are available only in pocket change.&nbsp; Some of the regular issues are pretty tough to find well struck as well and even worn specimens might be of interest to future collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Reverses were changed almost every year in the &#039;70&#039;s and sometimes one year&#039;s reverse is paired with the wrong obverse.&nbsp; There are a few very rare or scarce DDO&#039;s and DDR&#039;s as well.&nbsp; Two different reverses were used on some dates from the early &#039;70&#039;s so there can be a real medley of obverses and reverses.&nbsp; Most of the varieties are quite scarce to rare though by the mid-&#039;80&#039;s they became common.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Probably&nbsp; 95% of the coins you have will never be of much interest to collectors so will never really have much of a premium.&nbsp; It&#039;s best to spend them to give other collectors a shot at them and to avoid losing the interest and opportunity value of these coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d suggest you buy the blue cardboard folders and keep the best of each date in it.&nbsp; Check the duplicates to be sure they aren&#039;t a variety before you spend them.&nbsp; Look for coins with a minimum of wear and fully struck.&nbsp; Such coins are hardly common and many collectors today will be surprised how highly sought they become in time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
