<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2327228, member: 15588&quot;]I agree that nothing ever, or at least rarely, changes and I second your distrust of &quot;the common wisdom.&quot; Things will likely go in cycles as you suggest. Up and down, in and out. All along the way many people will say that &quot;they know&quot; which way things will go. Sometimes they&#039;ll be right and sometimes they&#039;ll be wrong. Their inability to prove that their correct predictions were nothing more than luck or circumstance will also continue. </p><p><br /></p><p>One big unknown in the next 20-50 years is the future of coinage and physical money in general. Though of course no one knows for sure, there is a chance, a decent one, that coins will go the way of the HTML hand coder in the future. Again this could go either way. This could make coins rarer and more appealing than ever and cause their values to soar. It could also soak up any energy the hobby had remaining and cause a drastic diminishment of the hobby over generations. This would not only impact mint sets but everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one really knows. But it&#039;s always fun to speculate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
