<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 3632644, member: 58633&quot;]I think the easily corroded nature of Zincolns will eventually pay off for someone who throws back a few.</p><p>&nbsp;Look at Classic Head large cents. They used an inferior grade of plachet, making it hard to find a good example, and raising the prices significantly.</p><p>&nbsp;Same with Zincolns.</p><p>They corrode fast and easy. But, properly stored, they are fine. </p><p>&nbsp;But given their eagerness to deterioriate, good examples will be rarer.</p><p>&nbsp;So, one day, supplies will be limited.. They wont make them forever, and they will become a separate subset. Like wheaties, or Memorial cents.</p><p>&nbsp;And you wont be able to get bags and bags of them.</p><p>&nbsp;Another plus is, coins dont circulate. You just need to much change to amount to anything. Everyone puts their change in a jar at the end of the day. I do.</p><p>&nbsp;I have a used spaghetti cheese container. Not 8 0z, but 24. And heavy plastic. Its very close to full. </p><p>&nbsp;I had expected more, but when I took a quick look awhile back, it was only about $60. So ot will probably max out at $100 or so.</p><p>&nbsp;But, I have noticed that my change is shiny. You just dont see much in the way of worn out coins anymore, because everyone does what I do.</p><p>&nbsp;Just think, if your grandparents had thrown back $500 face value in coins. Gold. Silver.</p><p>&nbsp;Rare Indians and Lincolns. Gold pieces. Horse blanket bills.</p><p>&nbsp;Heck, they used to sell Confederate money for almost toilet paper prices in the backs of magazines. I could have had a million bucks worth for something like $200.</p><p>&nbsp;Now, its worth close to face value.</p><p>&nbsp;Whoda thunk it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
