<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 602405, member: 8033&quot;]I&#039;m definitely with you on that one RickieB and it applies to modern as well friends. I&#039;m going to kind of float off topic here with a few examples and comparisons.</p><p><br /></p><p>People are clamoring over the new Lincoln Cents. Just paying STUPID money for coins that will be produced in the millions. We have them at work. I own ZERO because the quality of the coins is just plain garbage. This being the case dealers in magazines are selling slabbed 65 and 66 at $30-50 per coin. Get a 67 and it big bucks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Conversely, I have been sitting on a few notes I&#039;ve pulled from circulation. Two of those being CU 1999 F-* notes. 640,000 printed. MANY spent and DESTROYED by now as that happens with paper. How many remain?</p><p>So I might argue that there are, let&#039;s say, 10,000 CU examples remaining. How many BU 2009 Lincolns are going to survive - how many MILLIONS. It will and already has turned into a &quot;grade game&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>So guess what RickieB? My notes will be slabbed some day and the population will be low. As much as I don&#039;t slab notes (you know this of course) the practice will actually help catapult the Paper Money end of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paper is in a lull right now as it were but believe me 8-10 years ago it was really hot. It will happen again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
