<p>[QUOTE="RoslynT, post: 745639, member: 19660"]I agree that the ratio is probably 10:1 men to women. Being a 40ish female, I've noticed it when I've gone to shows and also in my local coin club. I get a kick out of the situation when I go to shows with my husband (who I just got turned onto collecting) and everyone assumes he is the knowledgeble one and I am the tag-a-long. We have three grandchildren (2 girls and 1 boy) and we've been buying all of them coins for little gifts - so personally in our family we are trying to change the ratio! LOL!</p><p> </p><p>I agree with Charmy, I collect because I find coins beautiful and I am a history buff. Not only do I like to collect coins but I also like to study the history surrounding the coin (the political environment, the economics, and the artistic style of the time the coin was minted).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
