We love to collect coins, take to events, etc. We have always been selective on what we purchase. We have backed off due to just funds, everything out there is going up, which leaves less and less in the pocket. We also prefer the personal coins a bit more than anything else out there, we see less and less of those, they are the ones we value the most, as in most cases we met the person, or gotten to know them some other way, gives things a personal touch with a story so to speak. Seems as though the personal touch has disappeared for some reason. We liked the collaborative posts when someone had an idea, or a thought for a personal coin. I dont think interest has gone away, I think things got a bit flooded so to speak, and with the economy my guess is others are being more selective as we are. Only going after the coins that have a special meaning to them, a story of some kind, a relation to the sport.
