I started when I was about 5. And that is all that I will reveal.
Rest in Peace

I checked with Gizmo and he says I'm 67.
But my grandfather always said 'your only as old as the woman you feel'.

Started very young - born in 1965 and can still remember looking through Moms change for 'fish' dimes and 'rabbit' nickels - those were the 1967 centennial commemoratives. Took a long break through high school/college years and restarted about 10 years ago- oh yeah, I am 42 now.

Sure, but then.. what should I say?

General interest/Gathering coins year ~12.

(while first evidence of interest being the Krause which I bought in 1997 - it was already used then and back then Krause books were rather unavailable here; I also have several coins that must have been bought in 1995/6).

Serious collecting year 2. Counting from the start of the Asian collection.
