Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 10/27/2006 2:58 pm I know exactly when I started - March, 2005. I got a set of the then current State Quarters with a folder from Littleton. Since then I've picked up a little bit of everything <coinwise>. Report this Post to the Staff

fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 10/27/2006 7:22 pm I've only been seriously collecting for around 7-8 months now. I've really learned that reading a lot and buying reference books are a great investment of time and money. Report this Post to the Staff
jemjr New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/27/2006 7:34 pm I have only been interested in Coin Collecting for about a year. My father passed away last year and I now am trying to go through his collection and learn all I can. His interest appeared to be Morgan SD. After going thru his coins, he appears to be a hoarder versus a collector. LOL Jack Report this Post to the Staff
TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 10/27/2006 7:41 pm I have been seriously collecting since the early 1980's. Nothing quite like buying money! Report this Post to the Staff
Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 10/27/2006 11:37 pm Been collecting coins for a little over a year. Got started on Mercury dimes. The set started to get too expensive for my budget when I hit a certain point so I started on my Franklin collection which is more than halfway now. Those are just a couple of the many things I have started in that years time but the two types I am working on the most. Report this Post to the Staff
janknez Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 10/27/2006 11:59 pm I've accumulated coins since I was about 12 -- also inherited my father's small accumulation of coins in 1978 -- but nothing deliberate until 1999 when I bought Whitman folders to put quarters in. I always dreamed that some day I would be able to own a gold coin, and three years ago I found out there are plenty of models that are pretty affordable and acquired (on November 4, 2003, but who's counting?) my first gold coin -- a 1886-S half eagle. Been getting serious about it ever since. Report this Post to the Staff
AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 10/28/2006 10:08 am I originally started when I was about 8 or 9 years old, then lost interest around age 14 when I discovered girls. Restarted with a US Type Set in 1976, but then had two kids, mortgage, etc., so I stopped again. I only started seriously collecting about 5 years ago, more or less. Report this Post to the Staff
Joeyuk Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 10/28/2006 10:20 am I started in '95 with the interest in the doubled die cent. Variety cents are still my main interest but enjoy much more now. Report this Post to the Staff
