ikaros Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think collecting starts with a state of mind when young. I saw all the classic coins growing up! When I was grown I started buying and trading., selling to get the coins I wanted when I was young. I am a male, married, two kids, great job, own a Jewlery and coin stonw and a pilot. You own a pilot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I am a male, married, two kids, great job, own a Jewlery and coin stonw and a pilot. You own a pilot? He not only owns a pilot but has a thing called a coin STONW. I sure wonder what that is. Hopefully not illigal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Carl, you're right about there being lots of collectors out there who aren't represented here. There are a number of videos on YouTube about metal detector finds --most of them are just treasure hunting, but some people are real collectors. What if CP hosted a YouTube channel about collecting? It might be very educational. We could also all become media stars. Exactly what I was saying. I'm sure there are millions of people that collect coins. Even the PCGS forums have only 30 or 40 thousand members. And if you added up all the members on all the coin forums, still would be minor compared to how many really collect coins. And as noted a poll on a coin forum only gets people that use the internet and are members of coin forums. And even with polls like this one, no one really knows who made up what. It is just as possible that half of all replys are bogus. No one really knows. There is an add on TV lately kind of making fun of how the internet is so full of, well you know. So even on a coin forum, people could and many do just say whatever they feel like regardless of real or not. All sort of on the pessimistic view point but I sure would llike to know more detailed resultls of polls like this but on a larger scale.

DarioMontesdeOca Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Put my age range 20-40 but been collecting since I could remember, probably when I started to learn how to count. Thanks for the poll though, very insightful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 NO GIRLS??? Strange, as I have sold more than my share of coins to women on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
