<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2429057, member: 19463"]I know a couple collectors in their 90's and one of my favorite dealers is mid-80's working shows about 40 weekends a years. You are what you do. The question is when you decide you are too old to collect anymore. Being blind would make the hobby quite different. Being able to look at coin photos on a 60" screen might help as you get worse. When I was 50, I could ID an Eastern Septimius denarius from 20 feet. Now it is more like 10. I may as well change over to Aes Grave.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
