<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3696717, member: 92655&quot;]I been here going on two years and every time a thread like this comes up, I was the first to preach on how the young numismatists will keep this hobby alive. Several things are worrying me now. I do have a tidy sum of cash tied up and don&#039;t want my wife straddled with a safe full of boat anchors when I leave this party. </p><p><br /></p><p>We do have a number of wonderful and active young numismatists here on CT. But we also recently had the Great American Coin Hunt. I don&#039;t recall seeing one youngster posting his prize catch. And I know in my area alone there were numerous treasures placed for YN&#039;s to enjoy.... Post after post after post is the same, &quot;Is my doubled ear Lincoln worth lots of cash&quot;? That&#039;s fine. I know every wheat cent I found in the sixties was the most valuable coin in the world..... Thing is, I don&#039;t see these folks coming back with any further interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>This last year, each time I go to my dealers place it looks like a Geritol commercial. I am not seeing any young folks trading with my dealer. I give away lot&#039;s of no-date buffalo&#039;s to youngsters. These days the face I see is not one of wonderment... It is more of a &quot;What The Heck&quot; look.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know..... Talk me down here y&#039;all. I am not wanting to feel this way about our hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
