[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 2003582, member: 1886"]I don't believe coin collectors lose interest as much as they just go through burn out phases for awhile. Back in the bad old days you could spend months trying to find a fairly common coin at shows. Or worse you could go insane sending coins back to mail order dealers because their grading was one, two or ten tokes over the line. Thanks to the Internet, on-line auctions, trading rooms ect. what used take months may take hours. And if you look at decent images, you have a better idea of what your really getting. At least a better idea than a price list describing a skank as: "up and coming." From the Internet we can just get too much, too fast. How can that not affect us? The Internet only promised to make us all The Master of the Universe. It didn't say anything about repealing the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility.
