<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 377698, member: 4552"]Sort of agree with vavet. The coin market will subside a little soon. I'm really afraid this time the Mint will distroy the hobby as was done with the US Postage stamp hobby. Just to many different coins being minted in massive quantities. First attempt was the Bicentennial coins. Now we have massive new collectors from the State quarters and then the baby sized dollars that no one wants already. Just a few more of these and the new collectors will fade out and the entire coin market will start to subside. </p><p>At the post office a few days ago I saw an add that the Postal service will allow you to have a stamp made with your own photo on it. And I thought the Elvis stamp was overkill. So when will the Mint have coins with your own picture on them? </p><p>I've been a coin collector for well over 60 years and have seen the hobby come up and go down several times. It happened before and will happen again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
