Probably about 10 years. But I've only really gotten serious this last year.

I've been a serious collector for about 7 or 8 years, but I first collected coins when I was a kid, over 50 years ago. I only voted for the 5 year category though.

I started collecting coins when I was about ten years old, and that was twenty five years ago.

Started when I was 10,35 years ago.Went threw my fathers pockets each night.
Taped my first Lincoln set to cardboard,
first coin I bought at that age was a Fine,1911 s Barber half dollar,
proceeded to clean it up with ,maby, ammonia.Soon it changed to a VG,
I wore the liberty right off.
earliest memories of coin collecting.
Rest in Peace

Serious collecting in 1956.

Prior to that, I had a small collection of foreign coins starting back in the late 1940's.
