<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbandy, post: 24887640, member: 20695&quot;]As a somewhat younger guy here, 39, I’ll share some thoughts. Culture is changing rapidly, more and more people are connecting over niche subjects over the various social media platforms. For example, the r/coins subreddit has 180,000 members. There is a Facebook group for Jefferson Nickel collectors with 19,000 members. There are numerous other groups with varied focuses. Not to mention the numerous buy/sell groups. </p><p><br /></p><p>The landscape of collecting culture has changed since my grandpa took me to my first coin show thirty years ago. It certainly does not seem to be dying though.</p><p><br /></p><p>This might be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t mind if things slid a bit and made the key dates I need a little less expensive. When I inherited a 1909 S VDB cent in F12 from my grandpa it was worth about 600-700 bucks. I see these routinely sell for $1000 recently.&nbsp; Now that’s just one very specific example, but indicates to me that the hobby is doing fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
