<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2912640, member: 31533&quot;]Of course I could be completely wrong, but I think that in addition to finding quality classic US coins to hold or upgrade to, paying special attention to how it looks, going for ones that have aesthetic value, there is also a huge opportunity to try to get quality coins of the modern US ones, and with the change of the Lincoln reverse in 2009 and 2010, and the composition change mid-way into zincolns and extremely poor quality in many years, that there will be a great opportunity for some to acquire ones that will likely be needed to make a collection of memorial cents. I think the memorial reverse is attractive to some degree, and can see some deciding to make it popular, ignoring the wheatbacks as too difficult to acquire. And perhaps ignoring the shield reverses for the most part. Part of this speculation derives from the very poor quality in some years and the ones that are zinc cores are so susceptible to zinc rot, that with bad treatment and use, most may not survive even at lower grades... and especially the years with plating issues. Choosing some that seem to be survivable with care may be a wise move for some collectors. </p><p>I think Jeffersons are a good collectible series, but think less of either the now Roosevelt or the Washington quarters from 1965 on as even being worth collecting for the most part. Ikes at high grades will be worth it, but the other dollars not so much. Ikes have a certain appeal, and they have heft.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
