<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyj107, post: 20056, member: 1507&quot;]Thanks, Penny.&nbsp; It seems that there is the makings of a discussion going on here.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a question for you:&nbsp; How come I seldom see a woman in a coin shop or at a coin show, but a sizeable percentage of the buyers I see on the internet are women?&nbsp; Historically I&#039;m sure that numismatics has been a male-dominated culture, like most everything else, but I would be interesting in learning something about the psychology that makes coin-collecting interesting to a woman.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, what drew me in as a child was the magical quality of coins--that the dumb and inert flat piece of metal in my hand could turn into something fabulous-- like an ice-cream cone!&nbsp; Back in the fifties there were all sorts of different varieties of design on the coinage then in circulation--this made it natural to want to start collecting, and eventually to want to learn about the history behind all of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, if this isn&#039;t the right place to start a discussion, I&#039;ll try to navigate to the place you suggested.--andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
