[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2546974, member: 46237"]There are a few problems with this argument: [LIST] [*]Coin collecting is an expensive hobby, and as a result many come to it later in life when they are settled down and have the disposable income. Not to say that there are no younger collectors, but one would expect [I]most[/I] new collectors to be in their mid to late 30s if not older. These old collectors you see are not the same old collectors you would have seen 20 years ago. [*]Even with collectors tending to be on the older side, the younger collectors among them may look to internet transactions as the primary means of collecting rather than attending shows. [*]Older collectors (especially ones that are retired) are more likely to have the free time to be able to go to shows/clubs, and to be highly active in numismatics in general. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
