<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2721887, member: 86305&quot;]There is a lot of discussion about this, in particular Morgan Dollar VAM prices, on VAMworld.&nbsp; The economy has a lot to do with it including disposable income and alternatives in the stock market while it is rising.&nbsp; But I believe there is a structural issue of not bringing enough young people into the hobby.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin collecting has often been for the older set because of cost and time.&nbsp; But it has always been fed by a new generation of collectors but today we compete with TV, the internet, gaming, etc.&nbsp; There was an interesting lecture I saw recently that correlated the decline in literacy in the US with the introduction of TV and people no longer reading.&nbsp; That does not bode well for the future when they measure it after the internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>But back to the main topic, I think it is pure supply and demand on pricing.&nbsp; Bring more people into the hobby and demand automatically increases.&nbsp; Continue down the path we are on and the future does not look so bright.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
