<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2315290, member: 76194&quot;]Well, I can&#039;t tell you what effect it will have on others, but I can tell you the effect it had on me. I&#039;ve become sinical of the commodity mentality, obsession with investing over collecting, and gradeflation permeating the US coins collecting hobby, so much so that I got turned away from it and fled to the ancient coin collecting hobby, where there is naturally less obsession with grade and more obsession with the historical context, artistic merit, cultural meaning, and political message of coins. You know, things that collectors seemed to have cared about more in the US coin hobby 20-30 years ago than they do now in the era of TPGs and the internet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
