<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3974817, member: 22377&quot;]Some interesting tidbits that caught my attention...</p><p><br /></p><p>Bob Green – Owner, Park Avenue Numismatics</p><p><i>&quot;The current base of rare coin collectors has diminished significantly in the last few years due to the release of all of the US Mint products and all the companies marketing that segment.&quot;</i></p><p><span style="color: #4d4dff">I&#039;m not sure I fully agree with that. People have been complaining about the US Mint and it&#039;s multitude of products for over a decade now. The limited releases do draw in the flipping crowd-which can be detrimental to the hobby. However, some of those people might become new collectors. Plus the variety of mint products can help new collectors. For example, the State Quarter series that started in 1999 was something that helped bring in new collectors.</span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4dff">I would think the diminished rare coin collector base has more to do with economics and changes in society (yes the good &#039;ol millennial vs baby boomer argument).</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
