<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2356801, member: 1892&quot;]Honestly, it&#039;s very little about eye appeal to me. Some designs are downright excellent - handicapped a bit by &quot;lowest-common-denominator&quot; die construction so they can strike bazillions of them in minutes - and I doubt anyone would argue that the ASE is one of the US&#039; all-time finest coin designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s actually another active thread here that kind of sums it up, though - the Mint is selling uncirculated Business Strike sets for multiples of face as &quot;collectible,&quot; and worse yet they have two different types (one more expensive than the other) which appear to differ only in what they&#039;re calling it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rarity is still rarity, and there are Modern issues which satisfy that condition and should hold their value/interest in the long term. A few, anyway. The rest are dreck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s Zlincolns. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I see Conder has explained that other thread - what a surprise, Conder had the right answer <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> - so I gotta walk that back a bit. Guess it justifies the difference between paying $5.95 for $1.25 in Quarters, or $12.95 for $1.25 in Quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
