<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 2368650, member: 23368&quot;]Since were talking about annual sets; proof, uncirculated mint and silver sets - I can see where collectors feel 50 years fits the definition of modern coinage. Look at the age of the obverse sides of our everyday coins. Except for the reverse of the 1 cent piece, the Westward Journey nickel set and the 1976 sets, nothing ever changes but the date. The ages of the modern obverse read: 107 yrs for 1 cent,&nbsp; 78 yrs for the nickel, 70 yrs for the dime, 84 yrs for the quarter and 52 years for the Kennedy Half Dollar. Not a very exciting trend for modern coin collecting. This is one of the reasons I cut back buying sets, along with laser made dies that can&#039;t reproduce the detail engraving had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
