Presidential Dollar Coins

I don't think I will be alive if and when they ever become worth what they were when issued. I also tend to think sometimes collectors try to compare experience with collectible series nowadays and project that onto the future mindset. A lot of the collectibles series nowadays are precious metals so they actually have an intrinsic value. This is different than clad and modern coinage. The novelty of the new issues is a lot of what drives them.

Although they are assigned a monetary value, that value will decrease as time goes on. Another thought - and not going any further with this - just stating fact - the concept of US patriotism is not exactly held in high esteem by those molding today's youth. A collection of presidents on coins goes against this trend. So the future of a collection of coins with US presidents... well...

I hope time poves me to be wrong.

I was trying to avoid someone saying "There's already a thread on this." It was what you might call a (poorly) measured risk. NECRO-BUMP? . Jack

PS - I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

I'm going to add this to my resume: I NECRO-BUMPED a 3-year old CCF thread! Jack

It could have gone either way really, bump or new.

At least you did not come here and post "I hate them" and nothing else.

Osprey - FUNNY! Jack
