Number of people who intentionally put "cool" coins in a tray or drawer - 150 million sounds about right Number of people who know of penny books and what a wheatback is, and maybe the redbook? - Maybe 10 million People who attend coin show, buy from HSN, or otherwise intentionally are TODAY wanting to build a collection? - Maybe 1.5 million People who read about coins, study them, are up on latest prices and issues in the hobby? I would agree with 200k max. Ancient coin collectors in the US? Far, far too few. :( Maybe 2000 if we are lucky.[/QUOTE]
