I like the Statehood Quarters....they didn't start me collecting but they renewed my interest, that's for sure. What's the deal with the 1999 silver proofs? I see my Dansco albums are complete with the exception of those 5.... how did I manage that? Was there a delay in releasing them or something and I just moved on?.....dunno. |

The 1999 silver Statehood Quarter proof set was not sold individually. The quarters were only available in the full silver proof set. It was the first year of the program and it seems only only the regular annual proof set buyers were on the ball. |

Not really, I'd say the Presidential dollar series got me started. Got a proof set of the 2009 ones for Christmas and got my first coin books soon after. Didn't get into the State or National Park quarters until much later on. YGP

A second necro-bump on this long-in-the-tooth thread. Nice. It's always interesting to go back and re-read input on topics such as this, especially when you have a huge (age) range of collectors.

The State Quarter series got me started in collecting US coins. Since I finally got an album and completed that last year, the US coin collecting has expanded like wildfire - all modern dollar coins, ATB Quarters and now working on modern pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. |

I started collecting a long time ago. The State Quarter series did not interest me. It did interest my wife, and that is how she got interested in coin collecting. |

I too started collecting long before the State Quarters. They have never really done anything for me. |

I started collecting before the State Quarters came out. The one thing I didn't like is that it caused the price of the proof and mint sets I was ordering directly from the mint to go up. |

No, been collecting since the 1960's. It did give me hope that interest would carry over to the entire Washington series. Sigh.

For me, no, I've been collecting for more than 50 years. Long before that program began. I love the fact that it has helped to spark interest in the hobby. We need younger blood in the hobby....

I started collecting in the mid 90's as a child and the State Quarter series never did much to grab my attention. Was collecting Classic U.S. series back then and still am today. Edited by Joe2007

State Quarter didn't bring me into the hobby but I think reignited my interest when they came out. I started collecting as a kid back in the 80's when my grandpa gave my his Lincoln Whitman folder and let me look through a huge tin of penny's. I kept all the wheat cents I found and still have them all today. I have collected on and off through out the years, but just now starting to buy some higher end coins (higher end to me anyways). Now I'm on the hunt for the W mint mark quarters!!

State Quarters were the first thing I ever collected in coins. They started me in this road, and I'm glad they did. I have the whole collection of State Quarters, one coin for each state with mixed mint marks, but I'm happy to have it because it sparked my interest.
