<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nap, post: 3105753, member: 73099&quot;]I suppose collecting is somewhere in our genes.&nbsp; Think about all the kids that were out collecting Pokemon.&nbsp; It&#039;s quite different than collecting coins, but it fulfills that same desire to accumulate and build a set.</p><p>The internet has brought a lot of younger collectors into a field that was (and still largely is) dominated by old men.</p><p>When I was younger, to obtain coins I had to either go to a shop where I&#039;d be looked at suspiciously or go to a show where I&#039;d have to fight the old men with their handwritten want lists and sit at a dealer&#039;s table forever haggling over the price of a circulated Jefferson nickel.&nbsp; I never saw ancients at shows besides a few late Roman bronzes in the dollar bins, and I don&#039;t think I ever saw a medieval coin.</p><p>That changed with the internet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
