I entered an interesting thread titled " Are There Any Coin Collectors Out There" It took me awhile to notice that it was first dated 6/12/2003.
I noticed today that postings followed as:
2003 Total - 5 2006 Total - 0
2004 Total - 0 2007 Total - 4
2005 Total - 1 2008 Total - 1
This was particularly interesting to me because I signed up for eBid in May as a collector & seller of coins. There were 19 coin stores when I joined; there are now 24 (that's 5 new coin stores in approximately 3+ weeks @ 21% growth or more) in a short period of time.
That being said, here is a shout out HI! to all veteran coin stores and to all newbie coin stores from Eb*y, Bidville, and beyond.
