First bust half - 1830 large 0

So I was never introduced to coins. I started collecting in august of 2013 after finding a silver dime in change at work. After starting I found out my mom and dad collected before they were divorced. Sadly they got rid of most coins before the divorce when I was young. I recently moved from Louisiana to Texas and I try to see family as often as possible. Mom told grandpa that I have been collecting and he gave me the bust for Christmas this year. When I was over there he showed me his collection and I was mind blown this had never been introduced to me. Now I'm grown up and have tried to visit as often as possible but we lost a lot of time so now every second counts. I believe it's in my blood just took me a few years to figure it out on my own.

Too late - once you get the first one you are hooked.

 

My father had a wheat cent album and an Indian head one too nothing serious but.. I was the one who really got into it!! Had this one since I was in high school got it graded last year

 

I wanted to revive this thread. I included it in a recent submission so it could be preserved and put away for safe keeping. It ended up grading VF30.
