<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24884814, member: 92655"]Wow [USER=152162]@JDcompy[/USER] …… Deja-vu. I did a post almost identical to yours shortly after I joined CoinTalk. I been collecting coins since the late 1960’s and my fear was that we were pricing coins out of reach of the newer collectors. However, having been here a few years now and being that I am older and settled now, I find I can make my way to coin shows again…. And you know what I found? The kids are at the shows and are as engaged with dealers over the two dollar coins as I am with the $200.00 coins. Take a look at the membership here on CT. We have a very active younger group regularly posting here…. I have always had no-date buffalos in my pocket and routinely hand them out to kids. Sometimes they don’t appear interested but more often than not, youngsters absolutely glow over being handed a coin from a bygone era….. I have revised my thinking. I now believe that coin collecting will thrive long after I depart this party.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
