Alide from the various aches and pains associated with having too much fun and pushing my spine beyond its limits, I feel pretty good! Still surf and swim and hope to until I drop.

Funny thing is, I have lived in San Diego my whole life and have never surfed. I am seriously considering getting into the sport at 53.
Skim boarding looks like a blast, but I know I am too old for that one.

I wish my parents had bought up every roll of Denver mint nickles they could find the year I was born. Would of made a bundle during the roll collecting craze.
My birth year saw the National Guard called to Central High School in Little Rock, the country's first combat fatality in Vietnam, the opening of "West Side Story" on Broadway, and the first Toyotas being imported from Japan. These were 58 years ago.

I'll see your Beatles and Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, and up the bid with I remember watching Señor Wences on that show (several times), and also remember that when our black & white TV would go off the air for the night, the station would have this sign-off pattern on the TV screen until the next morning's sign-on:

The mean age of collectors might be older than any internet poll because a lot of collectors might be old enough not to be using the internet.
I remember the fist time I saw a normal PC was in the mid 80s and it had no hard disk or internet. You could buy the original PCs with 640K of ram or the expensive PC XT with a small hard drive. Before that at even at a high tech company we had VAX terminals and ISIS computers with 2K floppys the size of records LOL..... I remember the first hard disk we had was a one meg hard drive and we called it a "side car" because it sat next to a desk like a side car and we said that our entire lab could use it because 1 meg was a lot of data back then. LOL....
Eh? What was the question again? Speak up sonny, or I'll hit you with my cane!
(Let me add the forties sucked. Started getting grey hair, muscle and joint aches, eyesight got blurry... Not all at once, but one day I woke up and said, "What the hell happened?")
The pickup I learned to drive in on the farm did not have a key operated ignition. It did, however, have a spring loaded 'starter button' on the floorboard, to the left of the clutch pedal. After turning the key to the on position, you pushed the starter button with your left foot to get her to fire up.
I was born the year the Boeing 747 made its debut, the first automatic teller machine ATM was installed, the Battery Powered Smoke Detector was sold, the first human eye transplant occurred, Seiko sold it's first Quartz Watch, the Microprocessor was invented, & the Concorde test flights had been conducted in France
To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!
I'm the same age as Bill Jones. I began collecting when I was 6. The guy that sold my parents my first penny board told them that the San Francisco mint had just closed, and that "S" mint cents might become scarce.

As a youngster, I remember seeing a few cars with those accordion-like rubber covered starters on their floors and also those shiny headlight dimmer buttons on their floorboards. Wow! I'm as old as dirt.

The median age of coin collectors is probably different than the median age of coin collectors who frequent Internet forums.
