<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2915352, member: 76739&quot;]All I can say is fella collectors. In 50 years the only ones that will have coin collections are the ones that can afford them. And the ones that have inherited them and not sold them yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t take a genius to take a good look at what&#039;s going on around us in life. Growth in the human race is pushing hard currency out. I know quite a few people right now, if you asked them for $.50 they would look at you and laugh. You know how long since I&#039;ve actually had money in my pockets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to growth and technology actual money is being phased out. Just like they&#039;re trying to phase out actual paperwork. Everything is done by computer. Right now they actually have a chip that can be implanted. And all you have to do is run your hand or wrist over this reader just like a credit card. But for what I&#039;ve read their having a lot of rejection problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those of you who have pets and have had a microchip implanted so if they get lost they know exactly who the animal belongs to. They been put microchips in fish for years.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for you you plan on passing your collection on To your grandkids or family.&nbsp; they&#039;re going to do is get an appraisal and see how much it&#039;s worth. I personally have examined several inherited collections for a basic appraisal. And all the family wanted to do was sell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve which young kids come in to the coin shop that I used to frequent, I&#039;d say young in their 20s. All they wanted to know is what it was worth and if the coin shop owner wanted to purchase them. All they cared about was the money they could get for a complete set of wheat panties that their grandfather passed down to them.</p><p>I used to get a kick out of watching the coin shop owner examine coins. Especially this Lincoln set.</p><p>As he examined them you could see the little light in his eyes slowly get brighter as he got closer to the more rare wheats in the collection. And of course he told the people the coins were worth what he was willing to pay for them.</p><p>At that time though I was fairly new into collecting. And was working on a wheat collection of my own, and was aware of some of the prices of some of the wheat cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically the price I heard him give them was actually what one of the wheat cent was worth. They walked out of the store, a few minutes later they came back and sold the collection to him, needless to say he had a big smile on his face because he had just scored. And the kids walked out with money in their pocket to party that night.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I&#039;ve always said. You want to know what your money is worth take it to the bank and see what they&#039;ll give you for it. Take a 2017 Silver Eagle in to your local bank.</p><p>And tell them you want change. Don&#039;t be surprised when they give you exactly 1 dollar in change. Because that&#039;s what that United States currency has printed on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your bank does not care about the collectibility of a coin or even paper, all they go by is what&#039;s printed on it. The rest is the irrelevant. usmc60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
