<p>[QUOTE="samclemens3991, post: 26404819, member: 82181"][USER=102022]@masterswimmer[/USER] . I have a different opinion on new young coin collectors. I too am part of the generation that found coins because coins found me. In my day it was a matter of having something or some experience that became the nexus for becoming a collector. Usually thru collecting from circulation.</p><p> Today's young collectors are NOT getting their start with coin collecting as naive individuals. They have access to massive amounts of information. We (I) was trained to think only stodgy old men with thick glasses were experts. I have had the chance to chat with 3 different young collectors over the summer. All 3 were under 16. All 3 allready had in depth information and specialized fields of interest. This ain't your gramma's approach to coin collecting. James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
