<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 563950, member: 17256"]Im going to look back at history, I know modern mintages are multiples more than the early 20th century but look back at what people thought about mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, walkers etc. at that time. It was basically pocket change, even the numismaticists of that day did not look highly upon much of the coins at that time because they were too "modern". You see much of that same attitude towards current coinage. I would say stock up early sets of modern coins, like the first 2 pages of washington quarters, a set of lincolns, they will always be popular, and even a good jefferson, roosevelt, kennedy, frankin, IKE set while they are fairly cheap. the higher the grade the better and include the proofs. The worst that would happen is they flatline around where they are at and you have a nice collection to maybe pass on to the grandkids.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
