    ...i agree, i personally believe that in the US there r most likely 33-35 million persons that would answer that they "collect" coins...i also personally believe that there r 10 million or more persons that do collect coins to some degree, in other words they have thoughts about their coins n do make some attempts to add to their "collections"...its a matter of degrees...i could ask u to define the various degrees of collectors by ur standards n then ask u to define urself by ur definitions...where do u place urself based on scope of ur collecting, amount of funds expended, frequency of purchases on n on...one of those unanswerable questions....

    ...perhaps ur choice of "active" is a determinate?...just as a point for consideration, i observe n actively participate in local, regional n occasionally national estate sales n auctions n in the 90 percentile they almost always have coin collections, accumulations or groupings of coins, ditto for unclaimed safe deposit box auctions...once a collector always a collector even after death....
