<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1675829, member: 66&quot;]The situation you describe is perfectly normal.&nbsp; When I joined my first coin club the average age was 55 years old.&nbsp; That was 39 years ago and most of the members that were there when I joined are now dead.&nbsp; The club is roughly still the same size and the average age is now 55 years old.&nbsp; I&#039;m now a member of several other local clubs and looking back for their demographics over the last 40 years their average age&nbsp; has not changed by more than one year.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason women have never been well represented in numismatics.&nbsp; Children are never represented by more than small numbers.&nbsp; This is because most of them are there for a brief time only.&nbsp; But when they return they stay for 30 years or more.&nbsp; This is why the hobby is loaded on the high age range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two weeks ago and our local club show we had and attendance of about 500 and 38 of them were children.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
