[QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1574513, member: 41665"]Do we have any idea how many retail bullionists and PM coin collectors (including ASE and modern 'Ag only') there are, currently? This would necessarily exclude the penny roll-hunters but not all 'junk silver chasers.' A low estimate for the high market, maybe? [B]HA said 200k "serious coin collectors" in USA, 2010.

A wildly inflated opinion, I suppose: "[B]About 7 million to 10 million people in the U.S. are serious coin collectors[/B], experts estimate, and many regard their collections as investments in the same vein as antiques, fine art and wine."
