<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1675848, member: 10103"]I agree with Chris (medoraman) on this one......we have had this same discussion many times over the years. So many times people say that the hobby will die, because it seems so top heavy with older folks, and when those folks pass on there will be nobody to take their places. What happens, though, is those older folks are being replaced with new older folks. Don't make sense? Picture this......Often times collectors are introduced to the hobby at a very early age and then, for one reason or another, leave it for a period of time. Marriage, school, work and other obligations take their toll on the amount of time a coin enthusiast can devote to his/her passion. As time passes, and the obligations diminish somewhat, folks begin to return to the hobby.....I was very interested in collecting as a youngster, was less passionate as a young man due to family and cash constraints, and gradually much more enthusiastic upon retirement when there was more time to devote to the pastime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
