<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fujairah, post: 984869, member: 27103&quot;]I recently inherited a significant gold and silver coin collection that my Dad had assembled over a 50 year period.&nbsp; His wish was that I would use it to suppliment my retirement in 18 years, or so (I&#039;m 48 now).&nbsp; My intention was to continue to enjoy and add to the collection for the next 15 years and then slowly sell off the collection during retirement.&nbsp; I&#039;m starting to get very concerned now about two issues that may affect the pricing of investment grade coins in the future.&nbsp; The first issue is Chinese counterfeiting.&nbsp; The Chinese now have the technology to make virtually perfect counterfeits and I see no obvious scenario to solve this problem.&nbsp; The second issue is the &quot;greying&quot; of the hobby.&nbsp; Lots of older guys now with the resources and interest to invest in coins, but will their &quot;replacements&quot; be there in 15, or 20 years?&nbsp;&nbsp; The younger folks that I interact with now are very technology focused and not interested in the traditional hobbies that my Dad and I could relate to equally well.&nbsp; I have a wealth of great memories participating in the &quot;Hobby of Kings&quot; with my Dad.&nbsp;&nbsp; What are some perspectives on the future of investing in coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
