<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1165676, member: 25270"]I agree with both of you 100 percent. Many people would consider me one of those "young collectors" (I'm 31 and have been seriously collecting for about a year now). Right when I started trying to complete sets of things like Mercury dimes and Barber quarters was when silver started to shoot up, and now my collection has come to a screeching halt. I keep waiting for silver to go back down but it isn't, so I just can't collect. I love the way silver coins look and there are so many coins I'd like but I just won't pay the prices being asked. I think the silver cost is ruining the hobby by turning coins from a collectible into an investment. Coin shops are just gold and silver dealers now and hardly anyone in there is just looking for regular coins for the thrill of it. I wish silver would plunge so this can be a more enjoyable hobby again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
