<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimedude2, post: 2830407, member: 17539&quot;]You are so correct on this! I would be proud to take the punches with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Particularly for some wold schoolers who I think lack empathy for the future of the coin collecting hobby, dealers at shows need to find a way to get younger numismatists and actually more diverse numismatist more engaged. My wife enjoys the hobby, but some dealers will talk down or try to dumbify the dealing because of her gender. I have observed this a few times and sometimes it is sad in our current day and when she deals with them it gets comical.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for dealing with youth - yes I understand dealers need to profit. However, for long term growth, programs and activities are imperative. I think the ANA does a great job in their shows with the Q and A searches, passports and treasure hunts. Some dealers are wonderful, some unfortunately swat them away like flies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
