<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brandon spiegel, post: 2279902, member: 67787&quot;]Hello, i am 16 years old and i a have been studying coins for the past four years and partaking an independent research course called TPSP which stands for Texas Performance Standards Project. I feel that the current value of coins are going down, with the price of the silver. I&nbsp; also feel that the average age of coin collectors is increasing, but steadly. One author from numismatic news stated &quot;The average age of numismatic news readers has risen by ten years over my thirty seven career&quot; so there must be new collectors, young ones, entering the market to make it grow closer. There was about 120 million people that collected state quarters and i feel that some of them are coming back for more after being formed which can be displaced by how there was a record attendance at the FUN SHOW and the Long beach coin show this year.&nbsp; I got into the hobby because I found a wheat back penny in my pocket change in the second grade and I thought that it was the collect thing that i ever saw, I was aw struck that someone owned the coin right after world war II ended and in the seventh grade i went to a gun show and got an indian cent penny and got hooked. I stay in it because there is nothing like the thrill of the hunt, and holding a piece of history in your hand. I love thinking that I have something that touched the lives of hudnread, or thousands of individual people, many many years ago. for All i know my 1831 capped bust half dollar was in someones pocket while they were attending Lincolns inaugural address. Or my 1837 hard E.F sailes and co hard times token was spent by a merchant during the financial crisis of 1837 I feel that I will consider my self seasoned by the time that I am 35 because I started when I am 12 and I love to study coins, but some day I want to open a coin shop when im around twenty five. Hopefully the product that I am going to produce for TPSP will be successful but if not than I will have good experience for then. I specifically choose 36 because if my business succeeds then than I will have had a decade in experience with selling coins by that point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
