[QUOTE="cladking, post: 53948, member: 68"]It's only natural to want to share things we love with others. A hobby is wonderful in that it can get a person through good times and bad. It is educational and will help keep the mind active well into advanced age. It is rewarding in friendships and acquaintances. It can provide structure. Coin collecting is one of the finest hobbies as it can teach so many subjects from geography and history to metalurgy and statistics. It is often quite financially re- warding. It's also important to attract children because the hobby is aging. Unless a whole new generation of collectors is added there simply isn't going to be enough of a mar- ket when we go to sell our coins. There was and still is some danger of coin collect- ing fading out as a hobby for the masses. It would be a shame if the "hobby of kings" were to shrink to only the wealthy and elite. edited for formatting[/QUOTE]
