<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 5247489, member: 100459&quot;]Coin Collecting has become big business.&nbsp; It&#039;s too expensive for the youth and the millanions (sp?).&nbsp; It&#039;s for companies that have a lot of people out there striping collectible coins from collectors that are in it for the joy of having certain coins that are researched and worked on.&nbsp; At one time, the average Joe/Jane was able to get coins that were MS.&nbsp; Now they have to settle for Good or Fine or sometimes XF, but when an AU or MS coin is available for auction, the first bid will be $1,000 just to know the 14 year old coin collector out of the market and to stay away from auctions.&nbsp; In time, young and even middle age collectors won&#039;t go to an auction because they know Big Business will knock them out of the price in auctions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
