<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3447852, member: 19463&quot;]I see it the other way.&nbsp; By pricing everyone except elite investors out of the market, the hobby and serious study of numismatics will suffer the loss of people with 30 years of hands on expertise to write the standard references and even to work &#039;grading&#039; ancient coins or working for the big auction houses and coin dealers.&nbsp; I believe the hobby would benefit most if there were thousands of twenty-somethings on their way to replacing old people like now work in the British Museum, Harlan Berk and NGC Ancients.&nbsp; Sealing the finest coins away in slabs and tossing the low end ones in the rubbish will not prove a long term benefit to the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
