<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Johnnie Black, post: 3053989, member: 79167&quot;]I was at a recent show with probably 29 modern dealers and 1 ancient dealer. The ancient dealer had most of his time taken by a couple of ignorant guys taking his seats and asking him things they should have asked a modern dealer. Literally “I have a 1913 nickel at home how much is it worth? I have a 1920 quarter at home how much is it worth?” And on and on. The dealer was polite but his time monopolized. Don’t be those guys. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the hobby sometimes I wonder if the modern market is set for a crash. The majority of people I see at shows are mostly senior citizens. The younger crowd isn’t into coins because they don’t spend paper/coin money they use plastic. Just like they aren’t into stamps because few people use snail mail anymore. There’s no context for them. From what I understand stamp collecting is at a low right now. I imagine modern coins are headed the same way. There will always be collectors but it seems like there are fewer interested in the next generation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient coins occupy a smaller market already so I don’t think the impact will be as dramatic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
