<p>[QUOTE="pghpanthers2, post: 2967144, member: 16767"]It’s a generational thing. Many years ago when my dad was teaching me about collecting, I felt like all the people at shows were 70+, that hasn’t changed. Now, I already started a collection for my 2 year old and can’t wait to share everything I know with him. What goes around comes around. I don’t think this hobby has ever been particularly popular with the 20-40 year olds. Sure many on this site are an exception (including myself) but I am talking more in general. Reasons why have already been listed. The coin stands at the local flea market are by far the most popular (well, other than food haha)</p><p>I don’t think this hobby is too threatened from a lack of interest. The inundation of counterfeit coins is a much bigger turn off for me. But even that you could argue is nothing new.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
