<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 977940, member: 25357&quot;]As long as there are collectors, there will be a coin collecting hobby.&nbsp; I definitely agree that the hobby has evolved over the last few years though.&nbsp; The internet revolutionized the hobby, much as it has almost every other business.&nbsp; It costs far less overhead for a dealer to do business on line, than in a brick and mortar operation.</p><p>Coins lend themselves quite well to buying/selling on line, as you can post a good photo that gives a buyer as reasonable shot at guestimating the grade/condition of a coin.&nbsp; And you can ship coins rather inexpensively.</p><p>I often wonder though, if the internet has taken away some of the more social aspects of the hobby, there was a time when you could actually talk to someone face to face about coins, that&#039;s still possible, but I think, increasingly rare.&nbsp; Even that void is being filled by technology, just look at this on line forum as an example![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
