<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2554847, member: 15199"]Get it out by supporting and actively participating in local coin clubs and community affairs. Don't throw old magazines and books away, take them there. Often an interesting coin comes to the club's auction, which is somewhat interesting, but if a young person shows strong interest and excitement, we older members let it pass, as that person someday might be important to help keep the hobby going. The local county fair has a collection area for display : quilts, floral arrangments, ceramics, etc. A collection in a cheap blue folder of cents, or inexpensive world or ancient coins get looked at by hundreds of people who might be stimulated to come to a club and bring their children. As species in nature exist only as long as fertile members are alive, so does coin collecting. It takes a little time and effort to go to 1 or 2 meeting a month, but we continue to be 'fertile' by asking others, having a family fall holiday potluck meeting with families and friends!! If you can't attend for health or duty, donate some money or coins for prizes for beginners attending.</p><p><br /></p><p>If coin collecting dies, as Pogo said 'we have met the enemy and he is us'.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
