[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2423594, member: 68"]Sure!!! Of course you're right. All we have to do is keep chasing people out of the hobby by being so exclusionary. Tell all the newbies their collections yare worthless junk and it will become a self fullfilling prophesy. We had an opportunity to get a whole new generation of collectors with the states quarters but this opportunity was largely squandered by telling them anything they found in circulartion was just junk and they should buy real coins like New Jersey coppers amnd ZAR issues. Now we will reap the results of what we failed to sew.
