<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1044390, member: 13650&quot;]With the hobby as strong as it is today, I&#039;d say there&#039;s hope for the future.&nbsp;&nbsp; The percentage of the middle class may shrink, but the population is growing.&nbsp;&nbsp; A smaller percentage of a larger number will still mean quite a few middle class left.&nbsp; Just a lot more who are in the lower class.&nbsp; Many of whom very likely wouldn&#039;t collect if they all won the lottery and were all in the upper class anyway.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As for silver hitting 500 some day, I agree it will happen eventually.&nbsp; If it happened tomorrow, what would people do?&nbsp; Do you collect because you like coins and want to take care of them for future generations?&nbsp; Or do you live for money?&nbsp; &nbsp; I have bills too.&nbsp; But if all I was worried about was owning fiat currency and paying bills, I guess I wouldn&#039;t collect anything.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; I agree with you that many will go to the melting pots.&nbsp; Making the ones that are saved that much more rare.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; To the OP, I have to ask what people in 50 years will be searching for out of today&#039;s change?&nbsp;&nbsp; I can barely understand roll searching to find that rare silver coin that&#039;s been thrown back into circulation.&nbsp;&nbsp; What&#039;s circulating now that couldn&#039;t be purchased for almost face value in 50 years?&nbsp; &nbsp; Keep in mind the mintages are not in the hundred thousands anymore.&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;re in the hundred billions!&nbsp;&nbsp; Big difference.&nbsp;&nbsp; It will be too easy to buy the quarter you&#039;re looking for, for 0.50 on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
