rbjr85 Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 04:44 am 1999-2019=20 years. That makes me feel old. I was 13 going on 14 when the first ones (Delaware) came out. I don't recall where I was when I saw my first example, but I remember being excited that there were finally some new designs in circulation. Where were you when you found your first? Do you think any of the hobby magazines will have articles about the anniversary? Will figures and industries in the hobby (ANA, PCGS, NGC, Q. Davis Bowers, Jeff garret, Coinweek, Ron Guth, ANS, NLG etc.) celebrate the anniversary in their own ways? Seriously though. Almost 20 years already! Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4591 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 07:45 am Time will tell... The usual pattern was kids collected from circulation, Lincoln Cents, Jefferson nickels, etc. Then fell away from the hobby in their 20s and 30s as life intrudes. Some % come back in the 40s 50s or 60s. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 09:10 am Well stated BStrauss - a very normal life progression. My bank sold sets at face after they were finished in a neat holder (with their name, of course). Having gone through the bicentennial coinage change long before I had no interest in saving any other examples. That poor set is buried in the vault. Perhaps I should get a shovel and dig it out Report this Post to the Staff
