I'm 71, gonna be 72 on Dec 20th. Been a collector and coin dealer since 1954. Went through a LOT of coins so far in my lifetime. Best coin I handled (as a middleman between buyer and seller) was a 1895 Proof Morgan NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo for $125,000.00 3-4 years ago. Dealer (not knowing the buer) shipped me the coin to show the buyer. I made 5% from the seller and 5% from the buyer as a middlemans commission. Was probably my best and fastest commission as a coin dealer.

I fall in the Lincoln Cent with wheat reverse timeframe.

I'm 34, and have been collecting since I was 34

This is an excellent poll! It means that there is a great future in store for coin collectors and for some of those who wish to start a career as a dealer.

52, Collecting Since 1963.
