[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2109545, member: 41863"]I'm 27 and love classic coins. I am beginning to specialize in seated quarters as my 'serious collection'. So how do I fit into the mix? One of the number one reasons people will say about coins and their allure is the HISTORY associated with them. Both the imaginative and the actual. For instance we can wonder about a a coins travels, but we KNOW about its manufacture and need for production. With that being said, what you described above translates to me that people will no longer appreciate history. And THAT I just don't see happening any time soon. I agree that there will always be variances in what's popular, but to make the stated opinion above ignores the larger picture. Most of us collect coins to either gain financially at some point or to observe and protect our history and heritage. Sure the teens of today might be wrapped up in their video games, but to say those fundamental mentalities of appreciation for art and history will change is ridiculous, it hasn't in over 5000 years.[/QUOTE]
