<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinzip, post: 2357948, member: 10938&quot;]Over the years we have seen post after post suggesting the &quot;Hobby of Kings&quot; is doomed to suffer the same fate as Stamps, Sports Cards, and many other collecting areas. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would venture to say most of the posts base their claim on the belief that the hobby is made up of mostly males that are over 65. </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly when I view our website traffic, one sector &quot;New Sessions&quot; does not support the theory. I first noticed this while sampling a small time segment of the last 30 days, then quickly changed the date range to the last year, then two years. The results change very little expanding out the date range. The other statistic that really surprised me is that over 23% of the visitors are female, I was expecting this to be less than 5%. </p><p><br /></p><p>What does it all mean? In my humble opinion, we (the numismatic community) are reaching the younger collectors. We are heading in the right direction to maintain and even grow the hobby. I would love to see this same report for PCGS, Heritage, or any of the larger traffic sites to see if its similar. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/2dma04g.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
