[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2143809, member: 60292"]There is some truth to that but I don't think it is completely accurate. I believe you are underestimating the young crowd's desire for silver. From my experience, there are more young collectors preferring silver than those indifferent to silver. The biggest difference I see between old and young silver collectors is that the young ones like flashy coins such as proofs, deep cameo, reverse proofs, etc. A lot of them are a product of the social media age we are in where they love posting photos of their bling bling. Also keep in mind, young collectors don't normally have that much money so they settle a lot for the more affordable clad coins. As they get older and more established financially they will gravitate to more expensive coins of precious metal composition. Another thing that changes with age/wisdom is the lessening desire to own mass produced flashy coins.
