<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 36501, member: 68&quot;]States quarters and all other moderns are most assuredly not yet in the mainstream of the hobby.&nbsp; When was the last time you saw someone bashing bust halfs or Morgan dollars?&nbsp; This goes on with the moderns endlessly.&nbsp; Certainly modern collectors now outnumber &quot;mainstream&quot; collectors and more coins are involved, but the bulk of the money in the hobby is still traded between collectors and dealers of old coins.&nbsp; It is Morgans which constitute the bedrock of collecting.&nbsp; It is the early coins that are most avidly chased with the largest amounts of money and those who collect in these arenas still hold all the modern coins at arm&#039;s lenght.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As more dealers come to service these markets and more articles appear about moderns in the numismatic press then one can say that they have become mainstream.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
