<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 838528, member: 22602&quot;]This is an interesting thread and I hope you don&#039;t mind if I jump into the discussion. I find the above thoughts kind of curious because they sound a bit drastic. It seems to me that if a young person has his coins &quot;insulted&quot; by a dealer, or told they&#039;re &quot;junk,&quot; he&#039;ll likely deem that dealer a jerk and not return. But I&#039;d have a hard time believing that he would be so fragile and ambivalent about his hobby that he would give it up never to return. Being told that a set of State Quarters, for example, is not rare and not worth much seems to be a right of passage that every budding collector goes through. And often, the dealer will tell the youth there&#039;s no reason he still can&#039;t enjoy his carefully assembled set!</p><p><br /></p><p>When I began collecting as a kid in the early 70&#039;s, I usually yawned at the new proof set my dad had just brought home; I was much more excited by the handful of beat-up Morgans my grandfather had given me. I would think it the case with today&#039;s young collectors. We are all drawn toward exotic things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
