 R.I.P. Rich Hartford, You'll be missed.
How long have you been at CRH for?
There have been many new people joining this site, some stay, some go. There are several of us who seem to be vetrans on here, some not, but here's a thread for those to post how long they've been at this wonderful hobby for, I'll start out.
I've been CRH'ing for over 6 years now, I started out real small, a few rolls of pennies here and there, but in the past 2 years, I've stepped up my game.
Share how long you've been at CRH for.

I'm currently 46 years old, and I used to CRH with my Grandpa when I was a young boy. Probably around 1976 to 1984 or so. We used to concentrate on pennies and nickels with the occasional roll of halves. We found wheat cents, war nickels, buffalo nickels, and few silver halves. We didn't do much volume back then as cash was a bit harder to come by. Fast forward to around 2001 when I got into CRHing as an adult. I've been at it non stop since then. My daughter enjoys CRHing with me. Would probably slow down a bit if she wasn't into it as well. My wife just "tolerates" my obsession. She's a good woman

i'd say with all the newbies coming into this hobby, you're a vetran, I would personally say 1+ years

ouch, sorry to hear, I only show/tell about my collection to immediate family who honestly do not care about my hobby, they just like to see I am making a buck doing what I love- though I have not sold any of my silver, i do plan to trade up for some gold.

About 7 years, when the CRH forum opened. Some of my posts are still on the first page

I told my dad he's a ******* for not getting me into this when I was 5 years old.
I went to alaska to help on the fishing boat when I was 13, and spent every penny I made on silver bullion @ 3 dollar an Oz. I am almost back to my pre-theft levels!

Im fresh as the wind driven snow, been at it since October 2011. I decided to buy silver a bit before that, bought 8 dimes and 8 pre 64 quarters, then discovered CRHing. Have not looked back. Since I started I have accumulated about 140 OZ of silver.

About a year, I can't CRH much, but know a lot about it.
1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.

I started in 1967 - worked mostly dimes then. I took some time off then hit it hard the last few years. I have slowed a bit with a new kid.
