<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 785455, member: 68&quot;]I think all the moderns awakened this past decade but it&#039;s gone mostly unnoticed among those who dislike moderns and it was so gradual the rest of us hardly noticed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There were a mere a handfull of modern collectors back before 1999.&nbsp; It&#039;s true there aren&#039;t a lot more of &quot;serious&quot; collectors now but the differenxce is that there are now hundreds of thousands of people collecting nickels from pocket change now.&nbsp; The pool of collectors who might start is in the tens of millions.&nbsp; What does a state quarter collector do when he finishes his collection?&nbsp; Many will run down to Borders and buy a nickel or dime folder and start on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think in this decade we&#039;ll see a lot of the modern series really come alive; they;ll be fleshed out and bones cast.&nbsp; We&#039;ll learn what excites the new breed of collector who&#039;ll be the backbone of the hobby in fifteen years. </p><p><br /></p><p>All the moderns will come into their own.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t necessarily expectr new collectors to value the same coins the older ones did or collect the same way but they will be collecting and some of their collections will be moderns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
