Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/04/2005 1:56 pm I know that some folks consider the new coinage to be Modern junk, but can a series Like the Lincoln Cent or Roosevelt dime be complete without them ? They are also IMHO a great way to fill time between the pursuit of the classics !!! Rick Edited by Metalman 12/04/2005 2:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 12/04/2005 2:34 pm I try and try, just can't do it. Not that the are junk they just don't do anything for me. Proof sets and mint set I can handle though. I like new forign sets too. Tony Report this Post to the Staff
CiScO Valued Member United States 458 Posts	Posted 12/04/2005 2:42 pm I do not consider the moderns junk. Those that do is their sad loss. I will continue to collect the silver & regular proofs, the 4-coin gold proofs and the commens that attract me every year. So if others don't want them, fine, it'll be easier for me to buy as close to issue price when I'm ready to buy. O yea, I also collect high end ASE, preferrably in MS70, in a slab.

national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 12/04/2005 8:04 pm I don't consider any coin "junk", as long as you are buying them for the sake of collecting. My issues with modern coins lie with the lackluster designs. Notwithstanding the "overhyping" of some. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 12/05/2005 12:43 pm While I don't particularly like the modern designs, that certainly doesn't make them junk. The only important thing about a coin and its design is that it appeals to a collector. It's interesting how varied all of our interests are. Report this Post to the Staff
national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 12/05/2005 3:51 pm There are some NO "S" and NO "P" junk that I would love to own, so if anyone has a few that they don't want cluttering up their "real" coins, please drop me a line Report this Post to the Staff
