I brought it in one day to school and everyone thought it was so cool so they brought their own or had there parents buy them one. And we would bring in quarters ad during recess we would trade them. My first trade was for a super shinny Texas (which I would later find out was a proof), I traded New Jersey (which was where I lived at the time so it had "extra value") New York and Maine. However, once Alaska came out and everyone had their books filled, it died off. Then, some years later when Hurricane Sandy rolled around, my family was relocated to Philadelphia so my father could continue working. While I was there we visited the Mint and that sparked the coin collecting bug again. This time however people did not take it the same way. I didn't really tell anyone about it but I simply started posting some of the coins I was collecting on Instagram. I met a lot of new people who liked coins on Instagram. However at the same time I was fun of. Far more serious then anything I have seen you guys say and not exactly by the form rules. After a while people just stopped caring. Am I embarrassed, no. I'm too old to be governed by fear of dumb people. If they don't like it then I don't really care.[/QUOTE]
