[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1806628, member: 112"]The popularity of coin collecting has waxed and waned continuously over the centuries. But overall, the number of those participating in the hobby has never been larger than it is right now. And that number has been growing steadily for almost 15 years. Of course 15 years is but a drop in the bucket in the greater scheme of things. Looking at it from an age perspective, yes, as Tom B said, the demographics are roughly still the same as they were 40-50 years ago. Yes, the majority of those in the hobby are older, no doubting that. But that is on a proportional basis. Number wise, there is no doubt in my mind at all that we have more younger people interested in the hobby right now than we have ever had. But we do have more older people interested in the hobby too, so the proportional numbers have not changed. As far as the future of coin collecting, given its history of 2,000 years, I seriously doubt it's going anywhere.[/QUOTE]
