<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AmishJedi, post: 5242820, member: 114568&quot;]I attribute the increase in collecting (IMHO) to 4 main reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Covid-19...record number of people are working from home or spending more time at home with their collections due to State curfews/shut downs.</p><p>2. Increase in YouTube/online &quot;influencers&quot;...particularly &quot;silver stackers&quot; and those dealers making &quot;Do you own this $100,000 penny in your change&quot; type of posts. Now, more people are checking the local CoinStar machines and coin roll hunting than ever before, it seems to me.</p><p>3. The recent election (not a political statement, BTW)... has caused some people to fear for a decline in the economy or even a refusal of cash/coins - pointing to the &quot;stacking&quot; of gold and silver bullion as an investment or protection against a Governmental &quot;collapse&quot;.</p><p>4. It&#039;s no secret that most collectors (even casual ones, like me) are &gt; 40 years of age. The &quot;boomers&quot; are starting to age and die off, causing their children/beneficiaries to inherit coin collections; either these people are getting interested in the hobby, or they are cashing in/spending these collections. I&#039;ve never see more proofs and NIFC coins in my coin roll hunting than right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
