Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1982706, member: 71723"]I think you're more likely right than wrong, and I see Matt Dinger has "liked" your post (surprise!). But what if we're wrong? We just might be witnessing a sea change in numismatics that has no reverse gear. Some people even with more experience than my 51 years in coin collecting are starting to sense a real and perhaps permanent change happening. Maybe Nottelmann has his finger on the pulse and you don't, Matt. Again, I peg it at less than 50/50, but not zero. We have to admit this - this new and coming generation is far less malleable to their elders' opinions and views than any in the history of civilization. They are all mutants. They're full goose bozo, off the hook, out to lunch. And it is THEY who are going to be defining the future of numismatics, not the pasty white beer bellied bolo tie wearing crowd. These kids think the Battle of Gettysburg is a football game in a few weeks in the York/Adams Athletic League. They know precisely what a Stack Overflow Error is and what do to about it, but they never heard of the Monroe Doctrine. These kids are a different SPECIES, man![/QUOTE]
