[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 529877, member: 6463"]There is a certain personality type that fits with the hobby. In general, it can be said that most coin collectors have always been socially awkward and loners. Many would prefer spending hours looking through rolls of cents and halves as opposed to participating in outdoor social activities with friends and family. Very few coin collectors that I know are jocks, soccer moms or kids in organized sports. These activities take up the time that would otherwise be dedicated to looking at round pieces of metal. So when you go to coin shows, you see middle age or older guys who are more than likely out of shape but are well read on the finer points of cherrypicking a wide AM cent. Ever group has it's stereotypes and this happens to be the proclivity of coin collectors. God love'm[/QUOTE]
