<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1281074, member: 2098&quot;]All of you guys need to relax and take in some of that &quot;kick back and relax&quot; attitude that I have been raised with here in the West Coast. These replica coins are not bringing down the hobby, if anything they are re-invigorating it in ways that nobody would have imagined even 20 years ago. It is so nice that I can buy a replica 1914D Lincoln cent for my album for $2 instead of breaking the bank and paying $150 for an original. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I bet alot of storefront coin dealers were afraid of being put out-of-business with the advent of online coin sales but 16 years after ebay&#039;s establishment, coin shops are still around and doing better than ever. This is like when the automobile was invented in the 19th century, people were afraid of the gas tanks exploding and felt safer riding their horse and carriage. Well the gas tanks in early automobiles didn&#039;t explode and people became accepting of them and they took off in ways that nobody would have imagined at the time. This is the same thing with replicas, give it some time and people will see them as an asset to the hobby and not the bringer of doom that some of you seem to believe these replica coins are bringing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
