<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 312624, member: 8033&quot;]Hey Andy,</p><p><br /></p><p>You have some good points and yeah maybe my &quot;shopping shows&quot; analagy wasn&#039;t the best but I&#039;ve been at this a long time too.</p><p><br /></p><p>There will be some nice things offered&nbsp; no doubt and for those that buy it more power to them. I like a lot of the gold but not where I&#039;ll put my money. I prefer an older type piece but that&#039;s me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I wonder about over saturating and hurting the hobby in the long run is looking at what has happened to the stamp hobby.</p><p>I am not a stamp collector and never have been although I&#039;ve picked up a few on occasion. My local coin dealer also does stamps but he has seen the hobby really die down over the years.</p><p>He says the USPS started issuing too many stamps and I&#039;m inclined to agree with him. Used to be a time when a kid could easily obtain all stamps made in a particular year and put them in his/her book.</p><p>Then there was a new stamp every week or several and a lot of them lost interest. Guess it wasn&#039;t fun anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would hate to see that happen with coins on any level that&#039;s really my point. I too want to see new collectors that enjoy the hobby. I&#039;d like them too KEEP enjoying the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me, I made my mind up a long time ago. I like the older stuff and I&#039;m not here to blast the newer stuff so no one take offense please. I just think the mint is going overboard and hope it doesn&#039;t backfire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
