[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2547615, member: 112"]What I said in original comment is accurate. Sure, there was a time when the vast majority of forum members were over say 45, with the most in their 50's. But even 10 years ago that number started dropping. Back when CT first started we had some younger members, and when I say young I mean young, including a few age 5 and slightly above. We even had a moderator at one time who was a teenager, that I started teaching when he was 8 before CT even existed. He is still a member, a grown man with his own children. We have several other members who were in their early 20's when they first joined, and they have been members for over a decade. Some of them have even become dealers, and yes they go to coin shows, I've met them there. But for several years now those who sign up here, new members, more are under 30 than there are those over 30. And yeah we still have those who are over 50; some even in their 80's, but they are few and far between. If you actually averaged them all out, I'd give an educated guess that the number would still be over 30, but under 40. Take yourself for example, 26, you are not an exception.[/QUOTE]
