Centsei Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 12:28 am Lincolns are great, and Jeffersons are OK, but SLQs, Mercs, Walkers are true art. Not to mention the classic gold coins. Report this Post to the Staff

I had a dream last night in which I found several short stacks of coins in the Coinstar reject tray (actually stacked within the tray). Being stacked was odd, of course, but I also found not one, but two, 1941 Roosevelt dimes. I was elated to find my first silver, but it all fell apart when I realized that the coin did not exist until 1946. So much for dreams! Quote: It's hard to consider them anything but modern at this point given that the majority of their existence falls into the modern time frame. I'd say I wish they would make some changes to it, but after what they did to Lincolns and Jeffersons I hope they leave it alone. Leave it.

scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 07:17 am I prefer a mix of both. However, I will point out what we call classic, I am certain people 100 years ago were having this same discussion about their MODERN coins. So before our lifetime are over (middle aged folks), some of what we call moderns will likely be classic. I personally already consider the orig design of the Washington quarter and Jeff nickel to have entered that category. However, that is me and how I my thoughts on what moves a coin from modern to classic. Other opinions are certainly quite different. Edited by scopru 08/07/2018 07:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
