<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1675969, member: 26302"]I agree fakes could kill it, and I am more pessimistic than you. What about high quality fake slabs? I think that is more of a danger. Since a lot of collectors know more about the slabs than the coins, the fake coins don't need to get better, (especially since the slab would make it harder to identify them as fakes), but the slabs do. Have a really high quality faker of slabs come onto the market with existing fake coins, and you will have PROBLEMS. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do not agree about the second part. I have an african american friend who collects morgans, and I have created some asian coin collectors. Also, I have seen quite a few hispanic collectors lately. It may be European culture is more predisposed to accept coin collecting as normal, but to me its more a matter of education and outreach. This kind of outreach, (to middle aged men of other cultures), I think would be MUCH more successful than YN programs. I think it would be a heck of a good idea personally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
