[QUOTE="900fine, post: 697485, member: 6036"]Concerned ? Why ? As far as age is concerned... for many collectors, this sport requires [B]money[/B]. It's common for folks to look up when they're in their 40s and have more disposable income. Kids are raised (or well along), college savings has been going on for 20 years and is maturing nicely. Folks in their 40s often have more [B]time[/B] as well. We're well established in our careers and don't have to work the 70-hour weeks anymore, plus the kids are more independent. Our [B]bodies [/B]are slowing down, so slower hobbies like coin collecting are a natural alternative to more physically active pursuits. It's quite natural for a coin collecting to have more appeal to this age demographic. Those concerned about "dying off" miss the obvious... as folks leave the "45 - death" bracket, folks enter it as well. The key is to get youngsters interested. Some, but few, will be avid during early adulthood. More importantly, many will return in their 40s... a common story.[/QUOTE]
