<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2270577, member: 46237&quot;]Generally I consider US moderns to be 1965-1999 and anything minted after that to be ultra-moderns. There is some wiggle room for both categories depending on the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a good question and one I was thinking about the other day at the Whitman show. I noticed when I was talking to primarily ancients/medieval world dealers, when I would say that I collect Hungarian Franz Joseph I types (1848-1916) they all referred to them as &quot;moderns&quot;. It&#039;s an interesting perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>I consider what I collect to be the classic period of Hungarian coinage, with Hungarian moderns not starting until 1946 with the re-adoption of the Forint. I could see someone saying that Hungarian moderns started as early 1926 with the coins minted under the Horthy regency (I consider those late classic/transitional coins), but clearly anything prior to that is not modern.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps my view on there being a classic period comes from being a US collector though. I wonder if world collectors typically just see ancient/medieval/modern or if this is atypical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
