[QUOTE="Santinidollar, post: 2915804, member: 75866"]Stamps are stamps are stamps. Yeah, we use those boring cents, nickels, dimes and quarters. Big deal. But do stamps have the equivalent of pre-1933 gold coins, large cents, silver dollars and countless other varieties? I don’t think so. There are plenty of interesting coins to collect without even glancing at the expensive junk the Mint puts out now. And that’s just US coins. There’s a whole world of world coins going back to ancient times. So, even if there has been a slowdown in coin collecting, I think comparing this hobby to stamp collecting may be an apples-and-oranges comparison. For reference, compare the action on this site to its sister stamp’s site.[/QUOTE]
