<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 839816, member: 15309&quot;]It is my opinion that coin collectors who actively attend local coin club meetings would normally be an older crowd. The people in their 20&#039;s, 30&#039;s, &amp; 40&#039;s are too busy with their careers &amp; family to find the time to attend coin club meetings. As people reach their golden years, there children are grown, their career &amp; income stabilized, their activity level declines (usually), and they find more time for things like coin club meetings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am 37 years old yet I have never attended a coin club meeting or even a coin show. The internet satisifies everything I need with relation to the hobby and works well with my hectic lifestyle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess what I am saying is that I don&#039;t think the attendees of coin club meetings is an accurate representation of the age of coin collectors in general. There are younger collectors who do not attend these meetings because they can&#039;t fit it into their busy lives. As those younger collectors reach their golden years, they will be the people attending the local coin club meetings. After all, if you sauntered into a coin club meeting in 1985, I think you would have seen the same age group of collectors in attendance that you do today. Now either those collectors have not aged in 25 years or their children are now the ones attending the meetings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
