<p>[QUOTE="Saor Alba, post: 745445, member: 21607"]One curiousity is that I notice overseas that there are more women involved in numismatics, both as collectors and as dealers. In Europe it is not unusual, I am sure there is no 50/50 ratio but it seems like there are maybe 25% collectors and dealers there as opposed to in North America. Even when I was in China a couple of years ago, there were several coin dealers that were ladies, like there is no glass ceiling in numismatics in these places.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of the paper money dealers I buy currency from are women, Pam West, Kate Gibson, Jane White in the UK, Sylvia Reichenberger in Munich, and I have bought many lovely ancients from Dr. Martina Dieterle also from Germany. The main thing that keeps me buying from them is that they are nit pickers when it comes to perfect well described items and awesome customer service. In that vane, perhaps I prefer to buy better stuff from the ladies, because they have a better eye for good stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until I buy one of Pennylady's cents in the near future, I have not dealt with any ladies in the USA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
