<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 838827, member: 68&quot;]I worry about the future too because most collectors don&#039;t seem to.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a matter of worrying about what my coins will be worth.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s important that the torch be passed to another generation.&nbsp; I consider numismatics a noble and important endeavor that will become increasingly important with the passage of time.&nbsp; What a shame it would be if it weren&#039;t continuous.&nbsp; What a shame it would be if most of our current knowledge were lost and millions of would be collectors never got to enjoy this great hobby.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are some long term threats but I won&#039;t be around to see how they unfold so they&#039;ll have to be left to the younger collectors.&nbsp; I may well be around to see how the current problems unwind.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If coins really do get discontinued in the future&nbsp; the hobby might simply transform into the new medium of exchange with all the coins becoming the true classics.&nbsp; In the meantime we all get to try to have some fun.&nbsp; And attracting new blood might be the surest way to keep having fun for the largest number of collectors and dealers. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know this doesn&#039;t apply to everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
