<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Twobit, post: 2196438, member: 73939&quot;]I can almost appreciate the modern collectors reasoning way of thinking and is nothing more than profit minded thinking. </p><p>It&#039;s just not for me and I&#039;ll take history thank you very much.</p><p>But hey collect what you like we live in a free country.</p><p><br /></p><p>But lets not forget that the facts are that the founding fathers wanted to separate themselves from the tyrant Kings &amp; Queens &amp; uppity folks and their taxes &quot;I&#039;m better than you&quot; type&#039;s&quot; from a country that mandated their I&#039;m better than you mentality, and FDR (no real world experience or out of touch from reality) and he</p><p>was certainly one of them types.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure he created social security how&#039;s that program doing now? (none of his doing really)</p><p><br /></p><p>but unlike his cousin Teddy (he was the royalty of the common man) meaning nothing was above him and created the preserving of the National parks that lots admire and visit to this day.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this once great nation that this country was founded upon by the misfits &amp; rebels that wanted nothing to do with the Kings,Queens &amp; elitists and created a new country for the less than privilaged folks that wanted nothing more than to get away from the poverty that the King&#039;s &amp; Queens &amp; elitist&#039;s created.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in 50 or 100 years from now if these coin/s ( coin of the century) are to be more sought after than this country&#039;s beginning&#039;s first coinage of this once great nation from the founding fathers type of coin then I will surly be glad I&#039;m not here to see it and causes me a great sadness and pain to think what they fought for has become in vain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll take for $100 something from the early 1800&#039;s thank you and hope that my grandchildren carry on the the tradition of the founding fathers and hope they research what I have left behind for them (the birth of a new country they never knew existed).</p><p>My only hope is to keep the past from becoming a distant memory and a heritage of what we once were and how we came to be, And FDR should not be at the top of the list and associated with the birth of a new country.</p><p><br /></p><p>Give me liberty or give me death[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
