    feels like 25 mentally, and 60 physically, so I'm going with 47, 47 and a half?

    31. Finding anyone within a decade of me who collects coins is almost as hard as finding a key date in change :p

    Then you'll probably be surprised to learn that the approximate average age for CT members is in the low 30s.

    Now granted, they are not the most active of the group as in they don't post as often as some do, but nonetheless, it's true. And, some are also surprised when they hear that pretty close to half of all CT members are female.

    The typical stereotype for coin collectors is male, 50s and up. But based on our membership, that simply isn't true anymore.
