I'll admit it. Started pulling the things out of circulation in 2000. Don't have a single one now. No interest in them now, but glad the program came along. Got me back into it.

    I got more seriously involved around early 2002.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I did. I guess because all of the attention. But not state quarters, I started a Lincoln set again.

    My entire collection from when I was a kid was stolen in the mid 80s and I lost interest for a while.
    Alright! Who removed the cork from my lunch?

    I got back into the hobby seriously around 2004 but it wasn't because of state quarters. Many of them are cool, but my first interest coming back was proof sets because I wanted to show them to my son.

    No effect whatsoever. Was into numismatics since childhood. SHQ's are not one of the mints greatest endeavors. Cheers, RickO

    No, but I did collect them before I was a numismatist. At the time it was the only coins I actively collected, though I did save wheats and Canadians from circulation, I could not then have told you what I had.

    It got me interested in uncirculated, proof sets and modern commems from the Mint. And I am the proud owner of a map filled with quarters from circulation! image

    I really go into coins in 1960 so the answer to you question is State Quarters had nothing to do with it for me.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
