<p>[QUOTE="BoonTheGoon, post: 3383180, member: 92272"]I don't really know what it is like with age discrimination, I have had to deal with people doubting me in my abilities as a numismatist and military collector though. My dad does not like me accumulating so much stuff saying it will hold me down even though I am perfectly happy with the life I choose. As for coin stores the dude who sells to me has been selling to me since I was 14 and I have not had any issues before. I do recall at Memphis coin and silver shop the dude was a lot more unwelcoming but still did business as well. It can also be hard for me personally in the collector community when people call me "nazi" or "commie" at school for always discussing history and wearing german hats (which mind you are from west Germany and often from between the 1950s and 1980s). It can be sort of hard yes but I get by. I am a no bs type of person and will get down to business but I do fear that I am looked as lesser in the collecting community as a whole due to my age. I am 15 btw. So all in all I have had a bit and have my fears but have not been out right refused as a YN.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
