HOW MANY "SERIOUS" AMERICAN COLLECTORS?

  In response to Dick Johnson's discussion of the market for
  new numismatic books, Denis Loring writes:

  "153,200 -- Unduplicated number of collectors who
         subscribe to the four largest numismatic publications.

    5,000 -- Estimated number of serious numismatists in
         America,  the core segment of numismatics.

  I find this disparity hard to believe.  I don't know the
  definition of  "serious" being used here, but I'll bet that
  with any reasonable definition of the word this number
  would be much higher."
