dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/12/2019 10:26 am I'm in the group that started collecting in the late 60's and the only reason I collect the State Quarters is because they are included in the uncirculated and proof sets. I have dansco albums that include proof issues for the other denominations so it was either spend the quarters or buy the albums. I made the logical choice as a collector and popped them into albums.... Report this Post to the Staff
pocketchange2 Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 04/12/2019 5:36 pm The State Quarters series re-kindled a childhood hobby for me. I was able to finish two sets before it was too late, like the Washington quarters series was for me.

Only when I discovered silver coinage about 5 years ago did I regain my interest. I would also say that the ATB series helped to rekindle my interest as well.

Craftworker Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 04/14/2019 12:39 pm I was semi interested in coin collecting after my Maternal Grandfather died and left my sister and I a few coins, Wheaties, Indian Head cents and a few Buffalo nickels. My interest waned after I married and had family responsibilities. In 1996 I married my second wife and she was already collecting Morgans, American Silver Eagles and Buffalo nickels. I got into collecting Frankies and Peace dollars. Now, 23 years later we collect almost everything. More modern day coins (post 1964) than pre-1964. Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 04/14/2019 3:29 pm The states quarters brought in not only millions of young people but lots and lots of baby boomers who had set aside their collections in their teens. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
