The general "Blue Mood" coloring the outlook of a number of coin collectors

Coin collecting can not be entirely divorced from the overall outlook
of the world at large. Recession, two wars, falling net wealth as well
as unemployment.It thus is not unusual for this great pastime of collecting
coins ,to go thru bouts of disinterest and even blue periods.
I have found that sometimes, time away from ones hobby or even business
may be necessary to clear the mind and renew the soul. In time, our love of
the beauty and historic importance of the coins we collect can overcome all
of the sometimes nasty and dark underbelly of the coin industry.
For the first time since the advent of TPG, serious efforts are being made by
industry leaders ,to reduce the abuses that seem to adhere to the coin Industry.
No one says that technology will ever totally eliminate doctoring, grade inflation,
or the China Mint products of phony coins as well as altered dates and mint marks.
However, there is hope that industry efforts ,will at least reduce these dangers to
a more manageable level.
It seems that mankind is destined to live in a dangerous world, fraught with known as
well as the unknown terrors that seem to haunt our waking moments as well as our
dreams.People have endured such for as long as we have been on the planet and our
hobbies have been a means ,of leaving our cares aside for a brief period ,as we lose
ourselves in our coins, in sharing our thoughts with other collectors .
Melancholy is a transitory state , it will pass in time .At such times the support of the group
as well as loved ones and friends make all the difference in the world.
