What Age Category Do You Fit Into?

53 here. I have been collecting seriously for a year. I never had a clue how much there was to learn about these little round disc. I am very impressed how involved our youth is in this hobby. They are learning so much about US and World history from this hobby, and saving a buck at the same time.

63 going on 10. (I still do childish things ) Collecting, on and off, since 1963.

I'm 13 but I will be 14 in less than a month.

Hey Dustin, seriously you are 13 - I have read your byline and assumed you were in the hobby for 13 years. That is so wonderful and you really have a great eye and skill for the hobby. Fantastic! My youngest son will be turning 15 on July 18th, I have been trying desperately get both my sons interested in the hobby but, they have their own interests. I have only been into the hobby for about 8 months and just love it - I wish I had started sooner (especially when my eye sight was better).

Make sure you put a Birthday post up.

Congrats to the 3 of you who are 81+ and not afraid of computers! I just did make it into the 46-50 category- 4 years till I'm old, LOL!

am I the youngest one? I turned 12 June 22.

Hmm... Yeah, that may be true!
However, I think there are more than just two members younger than me lol...

I know at least one other person is, coin_kid (hes a member here, although he hasnt been active recently... he is a member of my coin club though), and I think Ksammut (NumismaticsWithKenny) may be my age as well. I think SilverStackerKid is a half a year, maybe a year older than me, and CoinHuntingDrew is a few more years older than me.

I guess I'm not that young anymore. Fortunately, I'm still younger than the sum of the age of the three self-declared youngest members here.

And about starting age... It's difficult to tell. I've been collecting and learning about coins all my life, without knowing there's a word for it (numismatics), and without doing anything constructive (apart from just dumping all in a cardboard box). It's not so long ago actually that I got my first coin album and 2x2's. Just to find out that I needed a huge amount of those to fit my collection and an even bigger amount of 2x2's. I also managed to get hold of some bulk coins for low prices, so now I'm still busy sorting it all out and cataloguing my collection. I hope I still have a few decades left to do so, though.
