What year did you start collecting coins?
Following on the 51 years ago thread:
I started in 1956 due of course to the 55 DDO.

And then from '94-95, but moved overseas and it was hard to get US coins there.
I bought a few things here and there, when I got back in '98. Probably 3 or 4 coins.
And then late '10 to present.

The story of starting when you are a kid around 10 years old and quitting for a long time before starting up again seems to be VERY common.

I remember the 55's. They were in cigarette packages as the change from cigarette machines as I remember it but I could not afford to buy them at the time and surely can't now. For all you guys wondering just how old I am' i'm 72 as I started real young.
