Mine is no secret at 56 years.
Can not believe it has never been asked . I searched "Your Age" "How Old" No direct threads found!
It will be interesting to find out how many people are still in three legged pants.

Nope, when I was 29 I was too busy, but I wouldn't own up if I was. Like I said, I'm cruising, so no extra baggage needed. :angel: No offence intended of course.
Me, 66 and getting older........
42, or so they tell me.
I just turned 69 today.

Happy birthday to triplewitch ... Age is just a number !
Okay I am 36 !
Hello,
I will play. I am as old as the worlds fastest bird is in Australia.
65 physically.
Mentally -sometimes much older and, often much younger!
Half if you already know how old I am lol
Is there any young collector; sixteen going on seventeen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYf_TaNUOvk)?
66 but will be 67 next month......hmmmm where did all of those years go?
15 going on 16 :)
I'm probably the oldest female here at 71. For the life of me, I don't know where most of those years went though. :scratch_one-s_head:
39 and been collecting for 25 years in one form or another.
me me next
63
but a young collector if 2 years only !!!
I'm also 63 but i've been collecting pre-decimals since 1962,but i have to admit i've learnt more over the last 10 years thanks to the Internet,Ebay,Forums etc. than the previous 40.
I just turned 60 and yet I am still working as a Mill reliner which is probably the most physically demanding job in the Mining industry :yahoo: and yet I still make the time and effort to learn about and update my collections.
I have been interested in coins since I was a Lad But have only got "Dinkum" about it over the last 8-10 Years.
The age of a collector is IMHO "Irrelevant" , Its the "Passion" that sets the pace as far as collecting goes :ok:
Just look at Sel from CCF as an example.
He is in his late sixties and he still has the Passion of a 15 year old as far as Numismatics is concerned :good:
Then we have the "Young Guns" coming through , The likes of Eric and Walter Eigner, Mark and PP and many others that have become recognised as respected collectors that have absolutely NO problem sharing their combined wealth of knowledge amongst the collector community.
In summery , It is irrelevant what age a collector is.
What defines a collector as far as I am concerned is the Passion, Knowledge and willingness to share that same Passion Knowledge and information with other collectors Freely :yahoo:
Can I add one more to the previous statement: Bank balance!
I would think I may be the oldest on the forum , ( 72 )
on the 4th next January , ok I started my interest in coins when I was a bus driver and we were given coins for the fare , it was not till I was handed a $ 10.00 silver coin for the fare from a young guy living in the caravan park , so you can guess the rest .
I still love my coins , but my memory and health are slipping a bit now , I am making a lot of mistakes so I am slowing down . I have a lot of coins put away for my kids and wife dawn , but they show no interest in them at all , and I believe it will only be a burden on them when I go so that is why I have only just starting selling of a few of what I think they wont know what they are about . ,, kel ,,

......$2.51....still married (45 Years last Friday) so cannot even afford to collect coins anymore!
:angel:
26 here!
My bank balance is reasonably healthy today -but my credit card statement just arrived. So back to usual next to nothing overnight!

BLACKALL WESTERN QUEENSLAND

Blackall is also the home of the original Black Stump, which marks the original Astro Station established in 1887. Places west of this point are said to be 'beyond the black stump'. The original Black Stump was moved from its original location to make it more accessible to tourists, and can now be found on the boundary of the Blackall State School grounds, Thistle Street, Blackall. Blackall has many attractions for public use and entertainment, including the Blackall showground, the local pool and the historic Blackall Woolscour.
