What are your cutoff dates?

What is the newest year of a coin that you will keep? For me it's 1958 for pennies, 1959 for nickels, 1964 for dimes, 1964 for quarters, whatever the newest half dollar is, and the last Eisenhower dollar (1978?)

I keep anything older than 1930 for pennies, unless it's something really special, 1960 for nickels, 1964 for dimes and quarters. I haven't searched any of the big money stuff yet.

 

If I like it I keep it. Just found a White Mtn ATB in change so I'll keep it

 

As a coin collector, and I collect coins that I like/need to finish a set, regardless of the year.

 

No cut off dates for this old boy...........

 

No cutoff either old or young. This last week I have bought ancient greek, medieval thai, a 1927 double eagle, and a 2012 commemorative sikver coin. We are coin collectors, collect coins you love regardless of age or country. Why limit yourself in your hobby?

It changes every year. I'm currently at 2013.

 

1965 for me. I just have no interest in the new.

 

None for me either. Sometimes I find something in change that might be a year or two old that I like and sometimes I'll buy an ancient...just depends.

 

The cut off for my primary collection is the monetary reform of Aurelian in AD 271. But I also look for tokens from places I've lived, struck prior to 1960.

 

I used to have a cut-off date of 1970 for coins of the World. Then I started finding nice coins dated after 1970 & stopped worrying abut my cut-off date.

 

Is that a "missing clad layer" quarter, or is your white balance just THAT far off? It looks like copper in that image.

 

Nothing after the 1909 penney. I collect all 2c and 3c pieces. Pre-buffalo nickels. All 10c and 25c coins from the Barber series and older. All 50c pieces up to and including the Walking Liberty series. Morgan dollars and older, with one or two coin exceptions I already own. All Civil War tokens and some from Alaska. Only silver mint sets and collector bullion.

 

cents: 1959
Nickels: 1960
dimes: 1964
quarters: 1964
halves: up to 1970 and newer than 2002
dollars: 1978, unless its an ike in bad condition
$1 bills: 1969A
$2 bills: 1963A
$5 bills: 1969

With a couple of exceptions, 1839.

 

Old dude........:devil:

 

No cutoff date for me... If I like it and it's for sell I will buy it.
