<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 13899, member: 68&quot;]Obviously many people could not afford to tie up a lot of cash during the depression.&nbsp; This resulted in a decrease in the numbers of most BU rolls being set aside and no doubt got enormous amounts of older and marginally collectible coins back into circulation. But there were many people who could afford to at least set aside cents and some who could afford larger coins and BU rolls.&nbsp; The large increase in the numbers of collectors during this era set up the roll and bag craze of the mid-1960&#039;s. The bulk of the new collectors were primarily interested in the circulating coins and this continued right up to the introduction of clad and the collapse of the speculative markets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many people define modern coins as those dated since 1934 simply because it is these coins which tend to be more readily available in rolls.&nbsp; This definition, however, ignores the fact that roll saving collapsed in 1965 and did not restart until 1998.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
