I am 761 new moons old. I have been a serious collector for more than 500 of them.
Shakespeare said that if we live to 1000, and some of us do, (that's more than 76 years), we have lived for a very long time.

I think I am from the older generation , I was born in august 1947 and collecting coins since 1969 .I have learnd that coin collecting is a hobby with changing interest : some period you are fixed on Roman republican coins , another on Greek silver hellenistic ,etc.. it is changing with the years and the money you can spend .During 25 years I was only interested in Greek-Roman and Egyptian antiquities but I returned to the coins and are now interested in Greek South Italian coins but don't hesitate when there is a big occasion .
So , coin lovers who are a litter older , have you the same experience ?

I am now the same age as Vitellius when he died, but thank god am not afflicted with any of the vice he was (in)famous for.

Hello, Antwerpen,
I was born August 1949 (another first half of last century 'baby').
I 'dabbled' in coin and then note collecting mostly of 'current' issues, but when I started my own small museum of antiquities and prehistoric artefacts, I came across a 'Tiberius' of 22 AD. This started me on the road of "A coin From Each of The Centuries (from 17th century BC (Chinese) to the 21st Century AD).
Through that I discovered early Greek and now Roman, and so the story continues . . . . . . .. ..
