<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 4800671, member: 111237&quot;]This thread illustrates clearly what I have always said about coin collecting. Coin collectors (or maybe more correctly coin sellers) always talk about getting new people into collecting and the&nbsp; importance of the young numismatist. I have never thought that was important. Mainly because coins aren&#039;t cars, computers, etc... and the ones I look for, you often cant just go to another dealer or another auction and find the same exact thing for a better price. More collectors means more buyers out there, more competition for the coins I want and certainly higher prices. And how many of them or going to want to try their hand at flipping coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>Less buyers means more competition for those buyers and probably lower prices and better selection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I am a small fish...I have never sold a coin and look for the best quality for the lowest price only for my own collection. So to potential new collectors I say...why collect coins? Pretty boring hobby don&#039;t you think? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
