[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 4002356, member: 91609"]I must agree, I stay away from the majority of the "modern" offerings. But, (there's always a "but") isn't that the beauty of, collectively, all of our individual collections? Some specimens are acquired not for their "investment potential", but just because they are there! Case in point: I have some beautiful colorized Christmas themed coins from Australia (I don't normally collect colorized specimens, but these are exquisite!). Also, in my notes collection I have Disney Dollars. I collect a lot of things in which I don't expect investment potential. If I were inclined to do so, would I rather possess (read: save) a 1 oz. silver Muppet coin (read: 1 oz. silver bullion), or 1,600 +/- zincoln cents? I know the answer. Yeah, there's a lot of modern crap out there, but (there's that but again) some of it does fill a purpose. JMHO :happy::hilarious:;)[/QUOTE]
