<p>[QUOTE="Hudson James, post: 773945, member: 21760"]One can only hope but you also have to figure that of all the old collectors who are passing away now, how many of them have ever seen the Internet or know how to search google? Not many of the old folks that I know. Most of the widows, just let the old guys twitter with their coins, how many of the widows are Internet savy? Sure some of the kids might have an interest but how many times on this very forum have we read the posts from seasoned collectors that say things like. "after I'm gone, they can do what they want with it" or "none of family cares about coins."</p><p> </p><p>It doesn't sound good. Only a minute percentage of collectors nation wide even have Internet access. Sure if you are 30 or under or use computers for your day job, the chances are much better but again, outside the major cites, the hinterland is not all that wired, I'm sorry to say.</p><p> </p><p>All we can do is make sure we atleast make our membership aware but I think even though some just don't care...but we can only offer information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
