Coin Collectors Female Or Male?

female, newbie, 33

Female-Born in the year of a most unusual Lincoln Penny. (This is the answer I usually give when someone asks my age). 99% of the people have no clue. Of course in this forum, it's a dead give-a-way!! LOL I grew up on a farm, and started collecting stamps when I was about 8 or 9. I'd see ads in the comic magazines my cousin would hand down to me. I think it was a company called Littleton, or something close to that. I couldn't wait till the mailman delivered my glassine envelope full of stamps from all over the world. I'd sit and look at the foreign words, trying to figure out which country each stamp represented, and put it in the right shape in my big old stamp book. I got really good at the words and figuring out where they belonged. After awhile, most of the spaces were full, and I thought my endevor was complete. Of course I had tons of duplicates. LOL Then in junior high I was the cashier at lunchtime, and fell in love with the old coins that went through my hands everyday. I used my babysitting money to trade for the Barber dimes and Liberty quarters. I wanted to keep them because I thought they were so beautiful. I never thought about their value increasing. Later in the sixties, I gravitated back to collecting once again. Going through bags of coins every night after putting my little ones to sleep. Just picking out the low mintage coins. Now my goal was increased value. Hmmmmm things do change. LOL

All male.
