[QUOTE="PyrotekNX, post: 148054, member: 3918"]For the younger crowd, there really isn't anything interesting remaining in circulation. The chances of finding anything of real value in circulation are nil. Coin collecting is now purely reliant on the secondary market. The older folks had it good when it came to coin collecting. Most of the fun of coin collecting is in the thrill of the hunt. Most of that thrill is lost now, since there really isn't anything worth searching for. When the older generations are gone, there may be little hope for coin collecting as a hobby. If the prices of collectible coins continue to skyrocket, only a very small percentage of the population will be able to have a decent collection. Multi-Million dollar collections are becoming commonplace. It's only a matter of time when a common date merc in BU is worth $100.[/QUOTE]
