SERIOUS COLLECTORS

  Mike Billings writes: "I found the estimate of the number of
  serious coin collectors in America to be a bit conservative
  to say the least.   One only has to visit the Heritage website
  to see that they have over 50,000 registered bidders.

  I feel that using circulation numbers for numismatic periodicals
  to be akin to using general newspaper circulations to
  determine how many people pay attention to or know about
  current events in the news. My thinking is that the circulation
  numbers of numismatic periodicals should be a starting place
  to project up from not down."
