    Let's define modern first. Are they
    1) after 1964 (after 90% silver)
    2) from 1971 (beginning clad dollar)
    3) from 1982 (beginning zinc penny)
    4) from 1999 (beginning statehood quarter)
    5) after 2000 (after 20th century) or
    6) anything you don't like is modern

    Anything with a dead president on it or anything that is .999 fine whatever is a modern.

    Oh wait........or is it anything NOT made of silver or gold? image

    Nah, that would mean that the 90% Silver Kennedy in the 2002 Silver Proof Set was a classic as well as the Silver Eagles...................


    I'll stick with anything that has a dead president on it which includes Lincolns, Jeffersons, Roosevelts, Washingtons, Kennedys, Eisenhowers, presidentials.

    Now, those Sacagawea's. What to do with them?? image
