<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oz_in_ohio, post: 2965011, member: 89534&quot;]Face it, you as the middle aged or older generation grew up with coins , notes, stamps etc before computer games...Nowadays kids are not interested as i have experienced that in Australia where i am originally from...I was a successful stamp and coin dealer down there ( part time from 1977 = 1997 ) and full time from 1997 - 2011.... I saw ups and downs like everyone but as philatelics and numismatics are declining by the generations coming up and are only interested in computer games and mobile phones... I sold my entire stock and personal collections and migrated to ohio in 2011 and have not looked back...Nowadays i buy and sell as a hobby. i retired from stamps and coins before i was 55 but that is no longer available. With MOST silver and gold coins, they are all just scrap metal to me and that is what i do to them...NOTICE I SAID MOST AND NOT ALL!!!! The carson city morgans i do not scrap as they are good in any condition. Banknotes are far more better than coins ever will be as once it is damaged, it is gone where the coin is always the metal value. Military war medals of Korea, Vietnam and Gulf Wars are fantastic investments as the people are more than likely still alive and the medals have not reached the collectors market yet...WW1 and WW2 are no longer a viable proposition as most of those vets are long gone and the</p><p>medals have hit the secondary market. A Trio of WW1 australian medals is now over 1000.00..... Where british can be bought cheaper... Go look at ebay number </p><p>263434588858 and you will see it is not sold yet.
