<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1577231, member: 68"]This looks about right but slightly conservative. There are another couple million who spend serious time and relatively little money. Then there are countless (40,000,000) newbies who collected at least part of the states quarter series and are at that "awkward stage" of life where they are starting familes and have no time or interest in coins or any type of collecting. These folks will be starting to drift back into the hobby at a rate of 100,000 per year or so and peaking in about 12 years. Our ability to retain all these collectors is nearly irrelevant since it mattered how they were treated ten years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>Watch the young folks if you want to see where the hobby is headed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
