<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2478593, member: 68&quot;]As I said several posts back about why it wouldn&#039;t be productive for us to try to reach some sort of consensus; we have very different perspectives.&nbsp; I watched one area after another become popular and then fade from the scene in coin collecting.&nbsp; From your perspective things seem static or normal but from mine I&#039;m seeing three decades when the vast majority of US coin collectors like old US coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In my time almost everything has been popular and as baby boomers retire and a new generation of coin collectors who are less US, less male, and less old school we&#039;ll see coin collecting shaken from its current stasis.&nbsp; Nothing lasts forever even if the current coin market seems like it.&nbsp; As new blood and far more people enter the hobby it must change because the hobby is about people and the demand they generate and not about what you or I deem is a worthy coin to collect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know what the future holds but just like in ALL times I&#039;m predicting &quot;change&quot;.&nbsp; I&#039;m predicting massive change in a very brief period; 10- 15 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
