10 months and counting. Spent way too much already, still have lots more things to buy though...

 

25 years.... nearly 83% of the time I've been alive!

 

SIXTEEN YEARS Plus..

 

I initially started collecting back in the fifties, dropped out for the military, came back and saw that my collection was dismantled and scattered. So life got in the way. Picked it up a couple of years ago and trying to make some headway. I have 7 collections going but with multiple sets for different coins split between proof and circulating coins. Proof because they are nice looking and circulating because I can pick them up for face. Basically the best of both worlds.


Still trying to understand the nuances between DDO's and other varieties and feel that I am loosing the battle of understanding but not patience.

 

2 1/2 years.

Enjoying every minute of it!

Over three years now, I am about to move up from a novice collector to a dilletante collector

 

Almost four years.

 

Wow... there's a lot of really old people involved in this hobby.

 

Almost!

At first, I tried copying it to one million decimal places, but it got bogged down when I tried to post it. So, here are a few of them...........

I've been at it for 28 years, but did kind of take a few years off for cars, beer, and ladies right after high school.

 

started late august/early september last year, so thats, uhhhh, ohhhh this is hard math

 

Since my dad came back from Vietnam with a whole bag of Vietnamese, Australian, Singaporean, and Japanese coins that he had accumulated during his tour there. Still have most of them and the MPC's and Vietnamese currency too.

 

I've seen some of the pictures you've posted of past triumphs and they are spectacular! :bow:

Just wondering (if you care to share)...why did you stop? I think I recall you saying that you didn't just stop collecting, but actually sold off some amount of your collection.

Personally, I have a mental disease...I'm a coin addict. I can't imagine ever having the self control to stop without going completely cold turkey.

 

Why did you stop Doug? I heard that you don't even own any coins anymore. How could such a knowledgeable person just sell off 46 years of collecting?

Sorry Yakpoo, we must have been typing at the same time, great minds...

 

1976-1981
1988-present

 

Got souvenir from my Uncle who is Radio Operator during the Vietnam WAR.. received on 1975 after the war One of the last currency printed.

 

Well ya but that's what I have memorized, do you have all that memorized?

 

Since 1957
