<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3206001, member: 19463&quot;]Perhaps what we are seeing here is the beginning of the vultures circling other vultures who think they are doing the circling.&nbsp; I suspect that quite a few of us are aware of coins in each other&#039;s collections that we would love to have.&nbsp; I, for one, would really prefer certain of my coins go to good homes than be sold at public auctions to someone buying them as part of an illicit money laundering operation.&nbsp; I am aware of a half dozen of my coins that I know would have meaning to someone I know.&nbsp; I even have a couple coins that I had promised to someone younger than I am but they died first.&nbsp; At the moment, I am &#039;between&#039; people to suggest my family contact when they want to dispose of my coins.&nbsp; Most of my favorite dealers are retiring (or worse).&nbsp; If anyone has a good answer for this situation, I would be interested i hearing it.&nbsp; Big dealers like CNG do not want collections like mine where 90% would be beneath their standards.&nbsp; In a month there will be a big show in Baltimore where I will see a half dozen dealers who consider anything under $500 to be bargain box junk. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thirty years ago, I knew several young professionals.&nbsp; Something happened to them.&nbsp; They got old.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am told that young people today value having experiences rather than things (like coins).&nbsp; Will a few of them with convert later and start seeking non-investment hobby materials???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
