<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 815904, member: 68"]Common coins have never been good investments. What is an 1871 indian cent in about good condition and porous worth? The same applies to what you call "modern coins". Those which are common will probably never be worth a great deal. Don't get me wrong here. There are states quarters with many million saved that could increase substantially IF demand goes high enough and even a common 2000 unc silver eagly in typical condition could become rare in the future. But it's a virtual certainty that a 1965 quarter in VG condition will "never" be rare and never have a substantial premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>But to believe something like a 1968 DDO dime or a gem Philly Delaware quarter or a very low mintage modern commemorative can't increase a lot is just silly. The last twenty years has seen many prices on moderns go up hundreds fold with very low demand. They will go up far higher if the demand increases substantially.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
