[QUOTE="clembo, post: 342111, member: 8033"]I vaguely remember being young. I was in a coin club when I was 12. Me and a couple of buddies my age used to walk to the meetings a few miles away. Most members were in their 60s or older. They treated us great and it helped me a lot. There was one coin dealer in town. A cantankerous old man but not just to kids. To everyone. I frequent two shops now. One isn't "anti kid" per se he's just a bit different at times. He does know what money looks like in his bank account though so kids do get a fair shake. Just takes a while to get to know him. The other is GREAT with kids. He and his wife want kids to learn and pursue the hobby. Been more than one occasion where a kid is a buck or two short and believe me the kid ALWAYS walks out withthe coin. If not from the dealer knocking it down then from us other customers tossing in the rest. It really is a shame that so many "adults" forget they were once kids. I'll never totally grow up. Just ask my wife.[/QUOTE]
