<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhh, post: 3015259, member: 89326&quot;]I was vacationing with my family in Branson, MO a few months ago.&nbsp; I took the opportunity to stop at their LCS since the closet one to my home is an hour a way.&nbsp; The owner was one of those older gentlemen that you can&#039;t help but like.&nbsp; Anyway, I bought several items from him (at slightly high prices, but I didn&#039;t mind) and as I was walking out he said, &quot;Excuse me young man, but how old are you?&quot;&nbsp; I said 35.&nbsp; He said, &quot;O.K. great&nbsp; that&#039;s the cutoff, you just made it.&nbsp; Can you wait right there?&quot;&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know what to say so I waited while he retrieved a set of miniature presidential sterling silver coins from the Franklin Mint and handed it to me.&nbsp; He said ever month they give away some item to &quot;young numismatist&quot; to try to encourage the growth of the hobby.&nbsp; I politely thanked him and went on my way, however, I found it strange that I, being as old as I am would strike him as a &quot;young numismatist.&quot;&nbsp; Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
