[QUOTE="chip, post: 2115799, member: 19122"]I have enjoyed reading this conversation. Of course I disagree with everything written. Seems to me if you like coins and believe in supply and demand you would actively discourage any more people coming into the hobby, unless it was someone that you cared enough about to share things you enjoy with them. Non collectors who talk to me about coins, sometimes think that it is a way to make money, I do everything I can to disabuse them of that notion, that is the last thing this hobby needs is a bunch of people chasing the illusory get rich quick rabbit around the track. The worst thing is those who sell rare coins as investments to people who could care less for the intrinsic coin and care everything for the investment, unless the investors can all be steered to slabbed 70 moderns ( I do not have much interest in them)[/QUOTE]
