<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 64330, member: 708&quot;]The original post seems to infer to how say slabbing and increased interest in errors might have changed the goals of the modern collector. In the US market (as an outside observer) it seems there are certain trends, collecting fashions. The collecting approach of the moment, be it registry sets or errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>As someone in the UK where slabbing has not caught on and everyone still seems to shun the decimal coinage still just like they did in 1971 when it first took over, things haven&#039;t seemingly changed that much. Collectors in the 1950s and 1960s scoured through their change for either silver or for keys and rarities, notably Edward VIII coins and the 1933 penny. Even now in 2005 i still hear newbie collectors say they look through junk boxes for 1933 pennies. Considering only 7 exist and they are to my knowledge all accounted for it suggests they&#039;re not going to find one any time soon. Seems we guys still look for the same coins now that we did in 1955.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are collectors of modern coins out there but they tend to either be non native collectors, newbies or the casual collector. Most get converted to predecimal quite quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
