<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rooman9, post: 2111863, member: 73048&quot;]As one of those younger collectors (22) it is hard to get people to join into it. I&#039;m at college and keep most of my collection at home but I keep a handful of old silver and currency to show my friends. People are always interested by it, I mean when you pull out an indian head penny and people realise that there was different design before the Lincoln cent it just blows their mind. </p><p>However people from my age group see it as an expensive hobby. All they know about coin collecting is the coins that sell for millions of dollars. So I pull out an old roman coin from 400 AD and point out to them that I probably only paid $1 for this it starts to change their mind. But I always lose. I try to convince them to try it out but they would rather spend money on food, games, cars. haha I never eat out and take the money that I would spend on that and put it into coins.</p><p>I&#039;ve been looking for years to find a fellow collector at my school and have yet to find one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
