<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 1831472, member: 54140&quot;]While we are all speculating I can see many different factors affecting the price of Ancient coins more so that just an older collector passing on. We can all agree that price of Ancients has been increasing in recent times. Could we attribute that to the internet and the ability to access more coins? In my opinion yes we could. I can say for myself that I probably wouldn&#039;t have started collecting if I hadn&#039;t read up on the topic online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thinking about it now I do think price will rise for coins. Maybe because of an increase in collectors with the access of information being that much easier. I can also see a lot of younger collectors emerging in a couple of years since there are many outreach programs for Roman coins in the States. Forvm has their Slugs for Schools program don&#039;t they? Also there is the ACCG talking to kids about coins. I spoke to my regular seller at a coin show a couple weeks ago and he was just recently at a show over in Saskatchewan and there was this young boy with an immense knowledge of Roman history already at the age of 10 or so. It kind of blew him away. </p><p><br /></p><p>There may also be new regulations and laws that crop up in the upcoming years that drive up prices making Ancient coins harder to purchase. It is impossible to predict what government will do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said before if prices go down I am all for it. Makes it better for me. I also wouldn&#039;t hate for prices to rise because more people are joining the hobby. Like medoraman say it is generally middle aged folk that take up any sort of hobby. From the ages of 15 - 30 us youngins are more interested in bars, girls (or boys), and video games. </p><p><br /></p><p>The kids are out there but they are few and far between. Doesn&#039;t mean there won&#039;t be more in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
