[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 604552, member: 4703"]I think you'll find that the ratio of active currency/coin collectors here at CT is much higher than 600:1 if you carefully analyze the numbers. True, there are nearly 19,000 [i]registered[/i] members, but most of them are [i]in[/i]active. As of the time of making this post, there are only 2,771 members with 10 or more posts. More than 5,700 have no more than 2 posts. (Click on "Posts" at the top of the Members List page to sort the members by total post count.) Taking into account both the active newer members on their way to the 10 post level, and the formerly active ones, no longer posting on a regular basis, a very generous estimate of current active members is certainly no more than 3,000, and probably much less. On that basis your 30 active currency collectors represent at least a full 1% of the group, a ratio of 99:1, not 600:1. Realistically, your 30 actively posting paper collectors are part of the even smaller cadre of members active on a daily, or even weekly basis, putting the real ratio into a range of 10:1, or more.[/QUOTE]
