<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 839852, member: 8012&quot;]Super interesting thread and one I think about a lot.&nbsp; I&#039;ve already posted, but would add:</p><p><br /></p><p>- The OP talked about &quot;Coin Collecting&quot;.&nbsp; Now is that &quot;Coin Collecting&quot; as many of us have in our heads - the old images of buying albums and filling holes, etc.&nbsp; or the newer, steroid-paced Internet program where complete collections can be acquired in 3 minutes if you have sufficient cash.&nbsp; Or just looking for &quot;deals&quot; all the time.&nbsp; I think many of you have mentioned that &quot;Coin Collecting&quot; may be redefined and I agree.</p><p><br /></p><p>- I agree 100% with Lehigh&#039;s remarks on coin clubs - you&#039;re 20 something - a coin club meeting on Tuesday night at 8 p.m.?&nbsp; Uh, I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>- Ebay auctions/sales mean absolutely NOTHING as far as the true health of the coin collecting community is concerned.&nbsp; Flipping, ripping of newbies, misrepresentations, counterfeits....&nbsp; In fact, more than one &quot;respected&quot; CT member has come on here saying they &quot;dump&quot; their unsaleable stuff on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s actually funny, but I&#039;m so paranoid about counterfeits, that collecting moderns seems to make sense to me!&nbsp; Especially where you&#039;re paying bullion prices for ASE&#039;s or even the Spouse series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again. I love the comments.&nbsp; I worry about the subject the OP posted on a daily basis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
