<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vipergts2, post: 353145, member: 3881&quot;]Last hour post!</p><p>&nbsp;I think the state of the hobby today is in many states. We have speculators driving prices on PQ coins up, we have spot prices driving common date prices up, and more collectors too. With the rising prices that invites con artists, counterfiet coins and thieves.</p><p>&nbsp;Love &#039;em or hate &#039;em, the state quarters and prez dollars have brought a fair share of collectors into the hobby. The ones that have branched out to the older coins bring more competition for the finite supply of coins on the market.</p><p>&nbsp;The state of modern commems is a whole other issue to get into, big winners, big losers, and ever increasing products choices that are close to overwhelming even diehard US mint product collectors.</p><p>&nbsp;I do think if you keep it simple, learn as much as you can about the coins you collect and&nbsp; collect for the love of coins and collecting you can avoid a lot of the pitfalls. </p><p>&nbsp;I have been really enjoying the hobby the last few years and hope to continue in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
