<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1615683, member: 66&quot;]When I first got into collecting I joined the local coin club, it had about 100 members and the average age was 55 years old.&nbsp; When I moved to where I live now I joined&nbsp; two local coin clubs membership was about 100 in the first one and 105 in the second.&nbsp; Average age in each was about 56 years old.&nbsp; I joined those last two in 1989, 24 years ago.&nbsp; Membership is now 160 and 110 respectively, average age is currently 56 years old.&nbsp; I&#039;m still a member of that first club as well.&nbsp; Membership is still around 100 and almost everyone who was a member back when I joined is dead now.&nbsp; It was nearly 40 years ago that I joined the club.&nbsp; The average age today is 56 years old.&nbsp; The average age has risen one year in 40 years.&nbsp; I&#039;m not really worried about the aging of the collectors.&nbsp; People moan about how you don&#039;t see many young people at shows.&nbsp; No you don&#039;t, but it has been like that for at least 40 years and almost all the &quot;Old white guys&quot; who were attending shows back when I started are dead and gone now, but the rooms are still full of dealers and the attendance hasn&#039;t gone down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
