<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GenX Enthusiast, post: 4035970, member: 101075&quot;]I think that as education gets worse, interest in and understanding of history and its accompanying artifacts also suffer. And education has been getting steadily worse for decades, just look at me starting a sentence with &quot;and&quot;!</p><p>As a counterbalance, the internet and previously mentioned availability of both good and bad information are keeping new people streaming into the lobby of coin collecting, but then how many feel the need to step on the elevator to discernment and refinement of their own hobby is obviously a smaller number.</p><p>Silver stackers should have no interest in uncirculated coins or numismatic material that would bring any premium over spot. Wouldn&#039;t make any sense to the bottom line.</p><p>In conclusion, I&#039;d say that the pool of educated, non-speculative collectors willing to buy high price coins will probably diminish with the baby boomer generation, but that the ultra easy broadcast and production of media will keep beginner interest pretty high. Etsy will do well...</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: and I think it&#039;s been established that the wealth and ebullience created by the stock bubble in the early 2000s created their own bubbles in many parallel markets, i.e. people went nutso.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
