<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3718175, member: 19463"]The only thing constant in life is change. Hobbies may seem to die but they are more likely to change so the casual observer they are hard to recognize. When I was a kid, many kids collected coins out of circulation. Today, kids see nothing wrong wit paying $100 for a nickel and another $50 to have someone grade it. The hobby as Ras knows it may die. So did the dinosaurs making room for new life forms. My fear is that someone will melt all the aurei rather than just packing them away in the attic waiting to be discovered by generations yet unborn that don't agree with their grandparents who would rather play video games. Perhaps some will 'discover' history and coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
