<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3373755, member: 26302"]Many say that, yet it has never been young kids who drive this hobby as new collectors. Almost all young kids lose interest when they discover girls, cars, etc. It has always been 35-45 year old dads, (women are most welcome of course but traditionally men), who look for a hobby when their careers are in place and kids getting older, who take up the hobby seriously. The average age of a coin collector in 1980 was 60, in 2000 it was 60, and today? 60. Now that after 40+ years in the hobby I am now in the 50-60 group, I am finally "normal" I guess. In the next 10 years if the millenials do not start to pick up the hobby I will start to get worried, but not until then.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my current tiny little corner, ancients, things seem to be booming. Lots of younger guys and gals, price up, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
