<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andy21us, post: 312616, member: 2452&quot;]You are looking at this the wrong way, Yes the mint is coming out with new intrest in coinage that will bring in new collectors but that is a good thing. Newbies will keep the hobby alive and yes the demand will go up which will drive the prices up but that is what this hobby is all about, everything will balance out in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the mint becoming an extension of the TV shows, that is stretching it. The coin shows are one of the biggest rip off in this hobby as far as the prices go. They are take advanage of the less educated by hyping up the value of thier coins, but they are out to make as much as they can as fast as they can. This too will balance out in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get caught up in all the hype, coin collecting should be someting you enjoy to do. Some people do it for the investment and other do for the hobby. Decide what you like to do and don&#039;t worry about everything else, life is to short. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that I have learned in 35 years of collecting coins is that nothing stays the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
