That the whole interest in "collecting" and "collections" of almost any kind like coins, stamps, pottery, grandmas china, hummels, old stuff...anything really would last forever. That "hobbies" would always be a thing and keep going. I think I may be wrong about that, interest in having something old or semi "rare" is waning. The whole notion of collections and collectibles is ending slowly at least for the upcoming generation. They don't care. I have overheard this hundreds of times from many different people at shops and elsewhere. It may come back in 40 or 50 years..it may not.
Odd. I'm a 19 year old Internet coin dealer, I have hundreds of consistent customers & over 6,000 followers on instagram. Most of my customers are 12-21. Brick and mortar coin shops & coin shows are dying, sure. Young people being interested in coins? My problem is I can't buy enough coins to feed the demand.
I'd like to know what you offer your customers that a typical Brick and Mortar shop, regular coin show dealer, or other long time internet coin dealers can't offer their customers.
Fwiw, Cladking specializes in many post 1964 issues, some of them in the highest grades possible....hence Clad King.
There have been more Alt ID's around the forum the past 3-5 months than at any time I can think of in the past 15 years.
I'm not sure that I'm offering anything ground breaking that can't be found anywhere else. But I pride myself in fair prices, quality coins, having a wide selection of numismatics, and treating each customer kindly whether they're 12 or 75, spending $10 or $10,000.

And yeah his name "CladKing" didn't click with me immediately lol. Like I said I'm assuming/hoping his comment was rooted in sarcasm
The closest thing to Instagram I have is Instant Oatmeal.... But I'll be glad to help any of the Instagram collectors however I can. (I do not buy/sell/price coins. That's for others.)

That large auctions can truly sniff out/establish the fair value for a coin. When I sold my Walkers at the ANA, I was surprised by how some of favorites only brought okay prices and others I had considered middle of road went gangbusters.

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

That numismatic oddities like Yap Island stone money or Canadian 200 pound $1,000,000 gold "coins" couldn't be stolen.
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
Thought that MS70 silver eagles would continue to carry a decent (if not stupid) premium to 69's. That evaporated.
First spouse sales will pick up once we get into the later first ladies that people remember.
Even Nancy Reagan hasnt sold 2000 coins yet.
That proof coins are struck twice on a regular business strike press. They are struck on a hydraulic press.
