<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Swan, post: 2809473, member: 84455&quot;]Is coin collecting a fading hobby?</p><p><br /></p><p>I started collecting coins as a child in the 70’s.&nbsp; When I was in my 20’s I found&nbsp; many things that interested me more than coins, like bars, women, scuba diving, caving, bicycling, hiking…..well you get the point. The coin collection went into the closet never to be seen again.&nbsp; Until&nbsp; now. The family is raised and out of the house, and I’ve had a renewed interest in coin collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>But people my daughters age, the millennials , view collecting as clutter.&nbsp; They don’t really collect much.&nbsp; With digital currencies and credit card transactions, what is the future of coins.&nbsp; I went on Amazon to see what my Morgan’s are worth and there is little interest,&nbsp; Coin prices have been declining.&nbsp; I haven’t been to a coin show since I was a kid.&nbsp; Are there a lot of young people there, or are they more of the over 40 crowd?</p><p><br /></p><p>Will coin collections go the way of Beanie Babies?&nbsp; Remember Longaberger Baskets? Now selling for a fraction of what people paid for them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve noticed several young members on Coin Chat. That’s a good sign.&nbsp; So if you had a crystal ball, what would it say about the future of coin collecting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
