<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charlie123, post: 2111910, member: 68821&quot;]I think that&#039;s what some of the older collectors, including me, haven&#039;t learned.&nbsp; Your generation, yourself excluded, have different values than us in our 60&#039;s.&nbsp; I think for some, unknown to me, reason coin collecting is viewed differently by your generation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our generation was like our fathers generation, work hard, and play comes last.&nbsp; I was surprised to read on another forum, filled with people your age, chastising another young poster who said he looked forward to overtime work.&nbsp; The other young people said he was crazy, that he shouldn&#039;t spend his free time working OT, he should be out enjoying himself.&nbsp; Speaking for my peers, when we were in our 20&#039;s, we worked as much OT as we could get.&nbsp; Many people were like Green 18 spending 30 years in one job. Your generation see nothing wrong with switching jobs every few years.&nbsp; Your generation is not the same as our generation, nor are you like previous generations. Enjoying life comes first, work is secondary for your generation. Seems like options for a hobby are much broader now, yet I don&#039;t think hobbies are what your generation is looking for.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the generations before us, the average of a collector was 53 or so.&nbsp; I think the high sales figures are true. But I think they are being bought by us older folks with more disposable income now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read other forums where most of the young people are buying to flip, not collect.&nbsp; That wasn&#039;t so for our generation, we were mostly collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think rooman9 post exemplifies where coin collecting is headed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
