<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 4558797, member: 5233&quot;]You know...I have really enjoyed reading these couple posts that you have put together.&nbsp; Really well written and it&#039;s fun to hear the personal part of the story as it was from an era of collecting I was not alive to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>The paragraph above is particularly interesting to me (I bolded the key part)...because of how backwards it is to my own experiences.&nbsp; I was born in 1985 and began collecting at around age 10.&nbsp; So, the &quot;normal cents&quot; to me were Memorial Backed Lincolns.&nbsp; I always thought the design was sterile and boring and I hoarded every wheat back I found in circulation.&nbsp; I remember how thrilled I was when I got my first 1950s BU red example...I thought it was beautiful.&nbsp; That Wheat Reverse as fresh as the day it was minted and I remember thinking how I wish they still made them that way.&nbsp; I remember thinking how much of a downgrade the Memorial Reverse felt to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are the first person I have ever seen who spoke of the excitement around that change in 1959.&nbsp; It was really cool to read that because it was something I had never even considered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
