<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 2052751, member: 53226&quot;]I was daydreaming earlier and started thinking about coins. What coins that are found in pocket change today will be collected in, say, 50 or 100 years? I&#039;m talking about ordinary coins that are found every day. Coins that are rarely seen like Ikes or halves don&#039;t count because they aren&#039;t usually consider pocket change. Small dollar coins do count, even though they&#039;re uncommon. Proofs, special coins like the 1996-W dime, SMS coins, bullion coins, and NIFC coins like the baseball HOF half dollars do not count. Regular change only. I can imagine that in the &#039;50s before the reverse to the Lincoln Memorial design was announced nobody would think that we would be collecting wheat pennies in 2015. Same with the Indian head penny in the early 20th century. I&#039;m sure that in 1920 nobody thought thought anything of the buffalo nickel, and even further back to the V and shield nickels. The precious metal coins might have been looked at as being valuable in the future, but this mindset didn&#039;t really take off until the clad coinage was announced in the &#039;60s. What is the sleeper modern coin that folks will want to collect in 2115? Or will the only reason anybody collects them is merely because they are old?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
