[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3085566, member: 112"]Quite a few of them do participate on a regular basis. Not as much as some guys do no, but they do participate. I just think for the most part it goes unnoticed that they are ladies. If by CT you are referring to the membership in general - I don't think so at all. Over the years we've had some very popular, among the membership and some very well known and highly respected in the industry, female members. Ladies who were dealers and collectors alike. Some years back we had a young lady who became quite popular among the membership, they even doted on her. Partially I suppose because she was only 5 years old :) And her and her mom both posted here quite often. I myself will plead guilty to doting on her, to the point that I even sent her her first gold coin for her collection. For which she sent me a handwritten thank you along with a pic of her (which I still have by the way) holding the coin. But this young lady was quite special, to me anyway. She was sharp as a tack, wrote her own posts and even attended coin shows, with her mom of course. But as time passes things like this get forgotten for members, both male and female, come and go. That is just the natural way of things. And as I mentioned above, unless there is something special about them that makes them stand out nobody really notices, or maybe I should just say pays attention to, the fact that they are female. To the membership they are just another member, treated like, as the old saying goes - one of the guys ;)[/QUOTE]
