Which Decade Would You Choose To Be Re-Born In?

I'm completely happy with being born in 1988. however, if we are only talking from a coin collecting perspective, then I chose 1830s-1860s.... Because that's where my avatar came from. I'd keep sooo many BU examples of flying eagles.

Just had to say today. Almost anytime in the past, 1700 to 1950, the medical sitation was too dismal. Most of the members here would have died in their early 30's to 50's. Even what we today consider an easy operation would be the death of many of us. No TV, no computers, no radio, not even decent toilet paper.
Mostly it would be useless as a coin collector since regardless of when in the past you were born, you wouldn't know what coins are going to be valuable. No one knew about the 1916D Mercury dime being worth more than a few dollars even in the 1940's so what good would it be in the 1920's?
And more important than all of the above for most would be NO ebay.

Being born in 1957 I got to see all the great bands and music of the 60's, 70's and 80's first hand.
Maybe a little earlier would have been nice to truly expierence the 60's as a young adult.

I chose 1910-1935, it has a huge history. To see the first working televisions, to buy a nice little car for $100 and getting a few coins rolls at the ol' bankeroo.

As the question specifically stated "reborn" I would opt for "Happy".
I think that most people (in the Western world) have had a higher disposable income since the mid-20th century and I wouldn't change it (born 1952).
If you were reborn at an earlier period you may still have the passion for collecting but could you guarantee the wherewithal?

By the way one of the earlier comments stated, "train load of ARs".

What are ARs?

In the future one could always look back at what was. Although many coins will be impossible to acquire in the distant future, sure would be nice to see future coinage.
Take that Buck Rogers series, for instance. You wake up 500 years in the future. I'd like to know what that will really be like. The past is the past and as I mentioned, if only a hundred years ago, most of us would die long before what we are now. We all see on TV and in the movies all the great things about the past. They don't show people that die from a simple thing like Hurnias, Appendics, etc. They don't show the lack of toilet paper, toothpaste, hair creames and again, no ebay.

I voted for 1935-1945. This date would result in me not growing up in the worst of the depression or having to face the horrors of fighting in WW II. That being said, I think the depression helped forge the WW II men and women into "The greatest generation" and I am extremely proud of both my grandfathers who did serve.

The main reason I chose this era is I would have been old enough to understand the implications of the government removing silver from currency and would have hopefully started to stash some away before the 1980's boom.
