<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4046562, member: 112&quot;]There are and always have been a certain number of collectors that like them very much. But when you take that number who do like them, and compare it to the number of collectors who don&#039;t like them, have no interest in them whatsoever - the number who like them pales in comparison to the other. I suspect it will always be that way. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I used modern bullion coins to compare them to so as to show a representation of the numbers - 10% who like and actively collect them as opposed to 90% who don&#039;t like them and don&#039;t collect them. But you could just as easily substitute 3 cent coins, or half dimes, or 2 cent coins for a similar comparison. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point is there&#039;s always somebody who likes something, anything. But there&#039;s seldom, very seldom, a whole lot of people who like 1 particular thing. And that&#039;s how ya define popularity. Without a doubt Morgans and Lincoln cents are the two most popular coins there are - as judged by the number of collectors who actively collect them. And there isn&#039;t any other single coin or type that can compare to those 2. There just isn&#039;t, and I doubt there ever will be. At least not among US collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>So will they ever have their day ? In the way I think you mean that - I seriously doubt it. Since it hasn&#039;t happened in what 80 years or so, it sure aint likely to happen now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
