Counterfeits are now appearing more often than any time I can remember during my 63 years as a collector. Still, the incidences of them appearing in certification holders supplied by the major grading services are very unusual. [USER=93371]@Jack D.

If you attend the major shows there are more young faces there than you might have been led to believe. </p><p><br /></p><p>We are in much better shape than the political items collectors’ hobby, which does seem to growing to extreme maturity. I attended a political buttons show over the weekend, and attendees were mostly into their retirement age. I think there are more young coin collectors on line than you might realize.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
