I started in 1956 when I was 6 years old. Our landlord brought me a handful of old Indian Head pennies and that changed my world forever. :p
I have several books by Bowers but I hadn't heard of this one. Thanks for the heads up! Looks like they are selling for around $15 on Ebay.

I'd be real pleased to see your pattern dollars.
