<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1618575, member: 41665&quot;]Talk to dealers. Who&#039;s BUYING PRODUCT not &quot;just looking&quot;? It&#039;s a mistake to assume that the median age attendee at a coin show is necessarily &quot;the market.&quot; </p><p>The <u>market</u> (buyers/sellers, by avg $ volume) might be 10-years older.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone posted on CT years ago that &quot;Most collectors are in late middle age, median 55 years.&quot; In fact, that data was from 2001! I&#039;d puts a 2013 median age ~60 yo, say, for collectors w/ &quot;investment value&quot; in coins (Maybe older.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Alot of &quot;valuable&quot; US coins coming to market as that generation passes. The glut should coincide w/ mortality stats for demographics in Robert Bilinski&#039;s &#039;A guide to coin investment&quot; (1958 coin values were bogus; collector data was not!) or something more recent?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
