<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 4037081, member: 44034"]As a millennial myself I don't think many millennials know what they are missing. They have no clue since they have never experienced it first hand or have had subpar first experiences. Most of the people I talk to about coins think that coin collecting is about collecting Lincoln Cents and other newer and honestly boring designs, they have no clue about what is available in the more Classic coin series like 3-cent silver or capped bust coinage. </p><p><br /></p><p>What got me rejuvenated after getting burned out was local coin shows that had lots of variety and you get to see lots of coins you won't ever see in the local coin dealer's shop. You can also make lots of friends at shows which is not possible at coin shops in which the personality of the dealer carries the day and many are not that charismatic or willing to promote their wares to new collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
