<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Charles REid, post: 2882508, member: 85334&quot;]As the number of coins minted has increased, the ability to start a collection from circulation, have it interesting on the difficulty to find, has decreased.&nbsp; Losing this entry level, loses new entries into the hobby, and thus demand. I started with 32 coins from my father in 1958. I cashed my paper route money into silver dollars monthly. Old Buffalo nickels. Mercury dimes etc. were a part of my life.&nbsp; Finding a 1916-D Mercury from circulation was very exciting. That is hard to match today.&nbsp; Yet our classic coins are a national story, which I could not afford back then.&nbsp; It is a leap for young collectors still.&nbsp; It is all about demand and entry into the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
