5 years ago. When I turned 18 my grandpa gave me a 1990 mint set. Been hooked ever since.

I started in 1954 or 1955 when I began my paper route. Weekly subscription collections put a lot of coins in my hands.

Since 1991 off and on. More seriously since 2016.

A little over 10 years now. Started with a 2009 Presidential dollar proof set for Christmas, and I've been a casual hobbyist ever since. It's been a little more serious the last year and a half though.

I'm turning 110 this year, and I've been collecting since around age 9, so all in all, a little over 100 years of collecting. Saved handfuls of 1922 D wheaties that I plucked from circulation back then. I also recall my displeasure at witnessing the unveiling of the new "Peace" dollar design. - - - - In all seriousness, I started collecting coins a little over 2 years ago when my dad gifted me an uncirculated Morgan dollar for my birthday.

since roughly 1980, on & off over the years, other hobbies have also come & gone in that span, but now I'm fully on-board with coining in my semi-retirement. what's curious is that I find more interesting stuff now than I ever did before. with the years comes education. it's likely what I lacked previously.
