1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 8:39 pm I am a under 18 year old coin collector, I was just wondering what most people consider a "kid" at these shows. Would anyone under 18 be a "kid"? Edited to meet forum rules Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 8:44 pm I think the older you get the higher the age you think of as a kid. I'm in my forties and I think a lot of 20 somethings are "kids". If I make 70...40 somethings will be kids... Report this Post to the Staff
1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 8:47 pm I like that description. My main reason in asking this, is that I see all of the kid giveaways and other things. And I would enjoy having some of these coins in my collection, but don't want to take it away from the younger soon-to-be collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 06:50 am The giveaways at the shows are for collectors 18 and under. I hope we will see both of you at the World's Fair of Money in Chicago in August. Report this Post to the Staff
1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 06:58 am That is just a bit too far of a drive. I would have liked to have been at the FUN show, and it was just one hour or two away, sadly I cannot be in 2 places at the same time and l had some school things going on..
