<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 699631, member: 6463&quot;]The old why are there no women coin collectors question.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coin collecting is a relatively solitary hobby. Sure you can meet with your cronies and tell stories at the coin store and share a bottle of pop but for the most part, coin collectors are solitary, socially awkward folks squirreled away in the basement or spare room. They weren&#039;t athletes in college, they were on the AV squad or just geeks. They spent more time studying and learning while the cool popular kids were out and about.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Women like to go out. Women hate sitting at home in the den or basement looking at little round pieces of metal and trying to determine if that is mint or post mint damage. For the most part, they could care less...so they are out riding around with the popular more socially adjusted men and boys living life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s just the nature of the beast.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since the state quarters, you are starting to see more men with money get interested in collecting. They don&#039;t really know what they are buying but if its in a slab and has a 69/70 on it, they will pay good money for it. These are mostly your aging jocks and former cool kids who want to hop on the coin/bullion bandwagon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ofcourse the aging cool kids, who have never studied coins, are coming to the socially awkward geeks to buy coins from and theses socially awkward coin guys from long ago are gladly accepting the aging popular kids money and using it to what? ...buy more coins for themselves. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Karma is wierd...or maybe not so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
