In the interest of a healthy and civil debate. Has anyone actually considered this.
Does history repeat itself?
1. Was anyone looking at Standing Liberty Quarters in the teens thinking about full heads?
2. Was anyone looking at a 1945 Mercury dime reverse in 1946 thinking about full bands?
3. Was anyone looking at 1950's Franklin's in the 1950's thinking about full bell lines?
4. Was anyone looking a proof dcam coinage in the 1950's thinking about contrast and mirrors?
5. Was anyone looking at 1964 and 1964D Jeffersons in 1965, thinking about full steps?
6. Was anyone loooking at a 1982D Washington Commem 50c in 1983 thinking that this $10 coin would be worth $1000 in MS69? ( Yes, I know that in 1982 grading services didn't exist outside of
ANACS photo cert and early generation NCI/INSABB).
7. When Alan Hagar invented the slab in 1984, did he know that a little red devil would chase him for
the remainder of his natural life?
Enjoy the hobby!

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Cool!

Laughed so hard my false teeth came out [not really].

<< <i>What they were doing during the time periods mentioned was saying - " they are minting so many of these coins today - none of them will ever be worth collecting." >>
This has generally always been the refrain. When most of the classics were new
people were saying things like they're making these in the thousands now. Since
they're "too common" to bother with then they ignore the ones made only in the
hundreds also.

Yuk yuk yuk..
I hope you don't mind that I actually answered one of the questions.
