<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manny9655, post: 7844327, member: 112417&quot;]The mint is ruining coin collecting just like the USPS and the post offices worldwide destroyed philately.&nbsp; I&#039;m a former (small time!) stamp dealer.&nbsp; The plethora of UNNEEDED new issues year after year after year killed stamp collecting.&nbsp; Just look at how large the Scott Standard Catalogue has become.&nbsp; Any dealer who shells out $800 for a complete set every year is nuts.&nbsp; I could buy a lot of inventory for that kind of money!&nbsp; It&#039;s gotten way past the point where anyone can keep up, and numismatics is RAPIDLY getting there, all for the almighty dollar.&nbsp; Well, they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg.&nbsp; I predict a large fall-off, just like the stamp hobby did several years ago (and it hasn&#039;t recovered).&nbsp; TOO MANY ISSUES!!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
