    Found out from my 23 year old that he was interested in collecting all the state quarters.

    back in 2019 I bought a full set of state quarters, which is his now.
    Also gave him two other things I bought in multiples in 2019.

    it took nearly 10 years but finally one kid has an itch to coin collecting. Of course giving him a complete set removes the search and find but he wasn’t really searching, so we’ll see.

    I remember I did a coin collecting thing for the cub scouts years ago for one of those patches.

    My wife got this for me one Christmas and I loved it, especially good for novice collectors.

    ironically in a roundabout way kinda woke me back up as well, i found a Puerto Rico quarter that didn't quite look right the consensus was it was plated and not very well at that -- after that i just went into full gear collecting after many years of little interest
