  I'd guess around 50-60 or so

  I would argue <65 is still young in this game
  

  WTB... errors, New Orleans gold, and circulated 20th key date coins!

  Would've been one more if I hadn't had school...
  
  But either way, I don't think I could've budgeted in the cost to fly.

  Aye. Plenty on Saturday. There was a Boy Scout merit badge clinic and other non-scouting families there.

  I was there with my 2 children Saturday, and was amazed by the kindness of many dealers and all the giveaways for the kids. They loved the panning for gold and the Hobo Nickel activities. The free lunch at the NGC luncheon didn't hurt either.
  Best part is when they said after 6 hours of being there, " this was FUN, can we come back next time?
  
  There is hope for them yet!

  The FUN convention and summer ANA probably draw the most youngsters of all coin shows. The real question is: how many of the kids were at the show by their own free will and not dragged there by a parent, friend, relative or organization?

  I saw very few, but I was only there until 1P on Thursday and would not expect to see them midweek.
