Post a MODERN pic

Crackout · August 20, 2004 5:41AM

I don't collect these, but I recently freed this from a proof set for a type set collection.

Does anyone have any more pics of MODERN coins they wish to share?

That's a great looking Ike!

Great Ike, is it certified?

ziggy29 · August 20, 2004 5:48AM

I was going to post the same Ike (I have a 1978-S also, PCGS PR-69DCAM.) Maybe I'll have to post one of my PR-69DCAM Susies now, except that I don't want to shatter everyone's monitors with that fugly design!

I just had a 1977 Ike go MS-65 but it hasn't come home yet. So here's a pic I haven't grown tired of yet:

Nice modern !

Not cetified but I just bought this 1964 proof set on ebay(not sure why Russ or Marty did'nt). This half is AH and might make cam. The scratches are on the capital holder.

I consider this modern.

What is considered modern ?

Crackout · August 20, 2004 8:46AM

What is considered modern ?

For me, MODERN is any coin that was made after I was born! (I guess my grandmother can post a Morgan if she is reading this)

Don't worry tjkillian, no one saw your "classic" pic because the thread title has the word "MODERN", and no one will read a thread that uses that word!

And since no one is looking:

I think the coin tjkillian posted is "modern" in the sense that it was coined on a steam press and not a screw press.

some of us consider the boundary of classics/moderns to be 1836.

Does Bullion count as modern? How about 1937 or 1938? Geez.....What the heck is a Modern anyway?

Someone please splain the rules.

100proof1957 · August 20, 2004 11:47AM

Moderns ?
Registry !

As Baley correctly pointed out, some folks think the start of the "Modern" era starts with the steam presses in 1836. The coin I posted is a CLOSED COLLAR coin and hence a modern by my definitions.

O.K., now I'm following!

So would there be other "production" changes that would draw more lines, such as electric presses?

The word "modern" is much broader than I imagined!

BeeMan · August 20, 2004 1:29PM

I give up. The pictures won't post.

poorguy · August 20, 2004 1:57PM

There ya go. It's a "Modern" pic.

poorguy · August 20, 2004 1:57PM

Ok, and here's my thread contribution:

Nothing special.

In keeping with the Modern and the Ike theme:

Crackout · August 20, 2004 2:09PM

braddick, are you sure that's Ike and not some member of the Blue Man Group without his make-up?

<< <i>braddick, are you sure that's Ike and not some member of the Blue Man Group without his make-up? >>

It's funny you should mention that as my wife and I recently returned from Las Vegas and saw their show.

And now you've got me looking at this Ike in a whole new perspective!
