<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2557156, member: 73224&quot;]High grade modern circulating coinage already commands pretty hefty prices.&nbsp; Tack a variety onto the coin and the price goes even higher.&nbsp; Circulating coinage that grades MS-68PL or DMPL with a CAC sticker are not cheap.&nbsp; Those coins also have very low pop counts.&nbsp; For my tastes I like to buy the highest grade coin(in or out of a slab) I can afford.&nbsp; I believe most collectors are like that no matter the coin and that trend should continue even with modern coinage. Most modern coinage that grades less than MS-67 will be affordable to all collectors for years to come. </p><p><br /></p><p>Modern clad proof coins I don&#039;t think will ever gain in value.&nbsp; The saturation of PR-69/70 graded coins will keep that market depressed for a very long time.&nbsp; Silver proofs may be the only semi-safe bet for holding value.&nbsp; Mostly due to precious metal content.&nbsp; While silver proof sets have a lower mintage than clad there is still more than enough to go around. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is also the recent offerings of circulating collector coins only available from the mint.&nbsp; The Presidential series didn&#039;t seem to be a real big hit.&nbsp; At this time it seems collectors are disinterested in the series.&nbsp; Ike dollars seem to have had a recent surge in popularity.&nbsp; That is another coin, collectors had little interest in, that has now risen in value.&nbsp; Especially for high grade varietal Ikes.&nbsp; Kennedy halves should remain popular and affordable for the masses.&nbsp; The Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony coins may gain in popularity slowly over the years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mostly due to a low series run of coins.&nbsp; Easy, short sets to put together. </p><p><br /></p><p>I should start a campaign to make the public aware of the hate on today&#039;s modern coinage among collectors.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie55" alt=":hurting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It&#039;s a disgrace I tells you.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":grumpy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; If some of you would just pull off the rose colored glasses,<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and see the good in modern coinage,<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />we could all be one loving coin collecting family.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Well, except maybe those ancient coin guys.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie92" alt=":stop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; They dress funny.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Just kidding, y&#039;all are welcome too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie18" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My one emoticon post of the month.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
