Probably the 1965 to 1998 clad Washington quarters. The Mint wrecked Flanagan's depiction of Washington starting in 1999. I still see quite a few of the pre-1999 quarters and keep on spending them. -MV |

The people who spent their 1894 S dimes may have some regrets!  |

1/2p, face value does not justify a great little coin.

And what about those "Westward Journey" Nickels from 2005? I assume you are talking about the buffali variety. Considering close to 10% of the entire mintages was sold to collectors, and a lot more were hoarded as rolls from the bank, and that most of those are still in MS, I doubt they willl ever be worth much. |

I'm not much of a fan of anything minted since the 40's. So other than silver content I don't think I'll regret spending any of it.
I wonder if Ike's really will ever be worth more than just over a buck?
I remember my aunt used to collect "Barr dollar bills" when I was a kid. I don't think those have ever been worth more than a dollar. LOL

I still regret spending all the Ikes my father gave me as a kid, however, and suspect my son will someday regret spending on the SBAs I've given him for allowance, good report cards, etc. |

Humm, I have a large horde of coins from the past 50 years and my expectation is that 50 years from now my kids will scratch their heads and say 'What was he thinking?'

I agree, I regret not keeping anything except maybe all the copper pennies. I don't keep them all but do have a cookie tin of them just in case. Of course most people spend wheat pennies without thinking anything of them when dealers will pay 2x face right now for them.

I'm keeping every "gem" example of colourized Canadian quarters that comes my way. I think toonies ($2) will find their way into most collections, it's just a matter of time until they catch on. ;) Silver dollars are pretty huge now, so just imagine what toonies will offer. I hate having to roll up my nickel and copper toonies just to make a $50 bill. Just think how short the run was from 1996-2012, and not all years had circulating toonies.

In fifty years there might be no coins at all, but the mintages are so high I doubt we'll regret spending any.

I've still got the first coins I started collecting with. yes I've seen many, many coins in change I could have, should have, might have saved. But then I'd have to have virtually millions and millions of dollars worth of coins since I'd have saved everyone I ever had.
