[QUOTE="Chiefbullsit, post: 1696324, member: 16513"]To me the coin hobby is strong and has been for some time. You won't get that feeling at a live coin show because we now seat at our computer and BST. Currently on Ebay 548,231 coins, not counting bullion coins. Then you have Heritage, Teletrade, Great Collections, U.S. Mint etc. etc. The hobby is alive and kicking...have at it. As far as age, I collected from apx. age 8-14. Only bought 5-6 coins, the rest we got from change(pre '65). Got interested in girls and my collection went in the closet. Yadda, yadda, yadda, out for apx 30 years raising a family...NO COINS FOR ME !!! Started back when I took my nephews to a coin shop to get some holders for the new 1999 statehood quarters....I was hooked...again. Not from the statehood quarters but from the Lincolns in his case that I now could afford. By the way, I'd much rather go back to 1964 and go through bank rolls than shop for coins on Ebay. Nothing like opening rolls and getting wheats, Buffalos, silver nickels, Mercs, silver Roosevelts, SLQs, pre 1940 Washingtons, WLs and Franklins. Those my friends were the good old days...:thumb:[/QUOTE]
