<p>[QUOTE="cherrypicker, post: 73595, member: 3734"]I hear you guys talking about coin shows and how no "youngsters" show up there. I don't go to coin shows because I don't have much money. Now, I know you can take home knowledge rather than coins from those shows. I hope to go to one soon. I mainly search rolls-cheap way to get good coins. However-I still use my computer and games. Technology is growing-that's a no-brainer. But to think that kids won't enjoy having a collection of their own is wrong. I think one thing that hurts the hobby is all of those ads you see in the paper. They look awfully convincing-and all a new collector needs is to buy a 'good coin' at a 'cheap' price and then go to a local dealer and find out he/she got ripped off big time. That'll scare most collectors before they even have a decent collection. Kids just need to be pushed in the right direction by their parents or grandparents who collect coins. That will happen-and I'm positive the hobby will stay alive for many decades to come.</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
