19 posts in this topic

Let's try something novel....PM me with something you are willing to sell to me in the price range of $300-400. No modern. No foreign. Highly Prefer a single coin only. NGC/PCGS graded is preferred, small holder ANACS worth consideration.

 

I hope to get some interesting offers!

 

Thanks.

OK, let me be more clear....I'm interested in 19th Century coins.

 

I'm not asking to be snarky, I honestly don't know the answer. BUT, do most people consider "modern" coins to be anything after 1900? I have heard the term used more as meaning after 1964, and even for some after 1950. People also use the term "ultra modern", in my experience mostly to mean coins from 2000-present.

 

Anyone chime in here with whether there is a "hard" rule about the usage of these terms? Or do they just kind of get thrown around willy-nilly?

 

Thanks,

BRG, there is no hard rule. Many people consider anything after 1964 as modern because of the transition from silver ot copper-nickel. That is where I personally draw the line. Some people consider modern to be anything after they were born (which for some of these old geezers, is actually quite a long time ago). Some people consider anything 20th century (although this group is generally small). NGC puts the cutoff at the incredibly random date of 1955, right in the middle of several series. Additionally, some people put the cutoff at any series which is currently circulating, which means it varies (Roosevelt, Jefferson, Washington, Kennedy). This argument makes a good bit of sense. As you can see, how you define modern is really up to you.

Thanks so much. This is very helpful. I primarily collect ultra-modern coins (2000-present), but I have a few oldies floating around also (e.g., 1548 Polish/Lithuanian 1/2 Grosz and a couple Conder Tokens).

 

Just out of curiosity, is there a year after which the minting process changed enough to consider coins minted by modern means different? For example, I noticed that for Proof Roosevelt Dimes, after 1979 virtually all coins are Ultra Cameo, but in the 50s is is virtually unheard of. And, the transition from non-UC coins to UC coins is a rather steep one starting in 1970 or so.

 

Thanks again for the historical and useful description of what various people consider "modern".

Personally (as an exception to 19th century coins), I consider Mercury dimes and Walking Liberties as not modern because 1) they are silver which is obsolete circulating media, and 2) The design is obsolete for circulating coins. By this definition, Franklin halves would fall into the category, but unless they are CAM Proofs I just don't like them.

 

So it's really a subjective and individual based definition.
