<p>[QUOTE="benne911, post: 1514002, member: 30663"]The Jefferson is very plain. As for the half cent etc., like I said they are old and not produced anymore - hence they're collected. Obviously collectors who have been collecting for years also collect moderns, but you rarely hear of a new collector starting their collection on Jefferson or shield penny's. It's usually on finding a wheat etc in change and being intrigued. Or because someone they know collects and it sparked an interest. The time when you can find different designs in change is starting to disappear. And if te amount of collectors out there drops so will the value of your collection. You need a demand to feed the supply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
