I was sent a email by Modern Coin Mart and went on their site and clicked on "Classic US Coins" thinking they might have some early type image

    Yes, the 1999 Anthony Dollar was just not the same; give me an original 1981 Anthony any day.

    According to the Classic Car Club, the 1981 is a classic.

    Classic car is a term used to describe an older car, but the exact meaning is subject to differences in opinion. The Classic Car Club of America, maintains that a car must be between 20 and 45 years old to be a classic, while cars over 45 years fall into the Antique Class.

    Interesting, if you want an ANTIQUE license plate in FL, I think the car has to be 25 years old....not certain but that is what I heard.

    Since once again, these arbitrary limits are opinions and not a true 'standard', anyone can establish a demarcation and call it classic or antique or modern or whatever term they choose. Standards are established measurements, and here in the U.S., controlled by the National Bureau of Standards. There are no grading standards and no 'aging' standards. Cheers, RickO

    The Anthony dollar is now an obsolete coin, and so is the reverse of the Lincoln cent and the “whole” Washington quarter. I guess to some people that makes them “Classic U.S. coins.”
