<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3336517, member: 26302"]Always good to see these stories, yet I disagree it is the future of coin collecting. Some young kids always take up the hobby, and some more or less stick with it like me, (I started about the age of 5). However, the real "future" is always people around 30-40 who discover or rediscover it and are the main drivers. Everyone always decries how old the average hobbiest is, saying "coin collecting is dying, I go to a show and the average age was 60. Well, in the 90's the average age was 60, and in the 70's the average age was 60. It has always been mainly an older man's hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>So while I like younger kids in the hobby, as well as young adults, they are not the make or break of coin collecting. It is the people who are in their 30's that are critical. That is the group the hobby needs to concentrate attracting IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
