<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 484583, member: 6370&quot;]I am fine with less collectors, so no worries there...the less people I must compete with for the coins I want, the better. Never understood the drive a collector has to attract new collectors...seller I understand...collectors are just attracting new people to outbid you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the hard money vs electronic...I agree completely. With the rise of paper money, coins eventually turned into cheap tokens, people dont care about producing great examples of coins any more...so we have already seen the quality of most world coins go to a real low...a chuck e cheese token is more appealing than most world coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now with electronic payment (and I know a lot of people are like me, they use it for everything and many dont even use cash let alone coins) I think you are right, that coins are going to be less and less important...already they just seem like a necessary evil to many.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The age of the coin, and certainly the zenith of coining has passed...new coins are hardly worth collecting and so we collect relics of a different age when coins were made of bronze, silver and gold and people with real artisic ability and skilled engravers created outstanding works of art for circulation coins. People will always collect those I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
