If anything coin collecting seems to be growing fairly rapidly. From what I've seen is that many older collectors and younger collectors are active in different mediums. Not many young collectors are on cointalk or facebook or the other coin forums, however if you were to go on Youtube or Instagram, almost every collector you meet will be young. There are even young people beginning businesses and actually learning how to strive in the market at very young ages. The same cannot be said about coin shows or coin clubs, sure you will find the occasional 16 year old but still, many older collectors are used to the ways they met back in their day, by meeting in clubs or discussions. Even online forums seem to be an "old" thing for newer numismatists. One could be safe to say that at least 90% of Cointalk members are above the age of 25. </p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier today I conducted an instagram poll on age, asking if the viewer is 18/younger or 19/older.
