<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2111783, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, but the problem with that argument is I have been hearing it forever. Heck, in the 70&#039;s when I was a child collector people were all saying the lack of good finds in circulation and no silver coinage was &quot;the absolute end of coin collecting since no young people will be interested&quot;. The EXACT SAME argument has appeared every single year since. Also, when I was young, the average age of a collector at a show was about 55. What is the average age today? About 55. On average, coin collecting is an older male hobby. It always has been, and always will be. Most collectors are not like me and get involved after job, marriage, and children are started. Most are 35-40 when they come into the hobby. Therefor, I have always felt, even though I was a YN way back when, that YN &quot;outreach&quot; programs are silly. They aren&#039;t necessary for this hobby&#039;s health, since most collectors only start when they are much older anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
