| Back into coins after 50 years!
Hi... my name is Jim and I'm back into coin collecting after 50 years (well, maybe it's 45... I started around 1953 and stopped around '63). I sold my collection when I got married in the late 60's, and how I regret that move. I try not to think about about the three dollar gold piece (BU) that my uncle gave me or the 1909-S-VDB (XF) my grandmother bought me for $60. Or the near complete run of walkers (pulled from circulation), standing liberty quarters, etc., etc. So now, in my old age, I'm trying to recapture the feeling I would get trying to fill those old whitman folders. There's a few coin shops in my area, plus the internet... so maybe I can replace most of my old collection (though I think the gold and the S-VDB might be a little pricey). Anyway, I've been trying to get up to speed.. the last red book I bought was around 1960. Hope you guys can help an old collecter!
