<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1406044, member: 26302&quot;]I view this as a common fallacy. I started in a coin club when I was younger than you, and most of the collectors were 40-70 year old men. I jonied another club when I was 25 and most collectors were 40-70 year old men. I joined the TCACC a few years ago when I moved and most collectors were 40-70 year old men. So, during a 25 year timeframe the average age of collectors have not changed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think older men are for some reason the most prone to collect coins. Sure, younger men and women sometimes collect as well, (more the merrier), but its mainly an older man&#039;s hobby. As such, many collectors never start until they are 40 or older. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just do not see lower numbers of kids as being &quot;the death of the hobby&quot;. I think even if they do not collect when they are 22, when they get past 40 many will start. I have been reading your exact argument ever since I got into the hobby, and it has never appeared to be true.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I do all I can to encourage anyone to be a collector, including giving away stuff to younger collectors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
