Right you are National dealer! Only 30K ANA members, but a HUGE number of coin collectors in this country.
Admittedly, many of that huge number are 'casual' collectors interested only in saving some states quarters or whatever elso tickles their fancy. That mostly being different and/or unusual coins they find in circulation.
BUT, the potential to convert these 'casual' collectors into full-fledged numismatists is certainly there; their interest has already ben piqued.
However, I do not see the ANA doing very much to help create new collectors. Seems that the ANA powers that be are choosing to be elitist, catering to a select group, that being mostly coin dealers. There, I said it, but if the shoe fits, then wear it!
The ANA could take a huge step forward by creating a Coin Forum, open to all, on their soon to be new website.
Here's hoping!
