[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1854865, member: 15929"]While my forst experiences with "coin collecting" began at about 9 or 10 in searching through penny jars, I can honestly say that I never began devoting any real timer to the hobby until I was in my mid 50's. Coin Collecting (both buying and selling) requires disposable income which usually does not appear until after the kids are grown and the job situation is working towards retirement. Youth? Sure, youth is needed but absolutely not required since few "youth" actually read the news to see that some rare half dollar just sold for $189,000 or some nickel recently sold for $6 million. Instead, their reading about the latest video game/fashion trend/or hot musical group! Sooner or later, folks with the tendency to accumulate and order things end up as coin collectors. With today's internet, a lot of them entertain thoughts of actually dealing if for no other reason than to pay for their collecting interests. Old in Body but Young in Heart. The "youth" of America is firmly involved with coin collecting and that's all of us old kids![/QUOTE]
