Message:: [QUOTE="Taylor101, post: 1743983, member: 29758"]I have a story. When I was around 10, when I started collecting, I was looking in the phone book for coin stores, and I found one. It was a small store, with very limited hours, but I loved to go there. It was maintained and owned by a older woman and her husband. They greeted me, when I first when there, and showed me around. I bought about 5 dollars worth of Lincolns and she told me about this coin club they had every secound and fourth Tuesday.I attended and there was this segment called show and tell. I went up with my almost finished lincon penny collection from 1959 and on. I opened it up and all of the coins were black. Everybody started laughing, and I was like what? i realized later that the reason was because I had not bought these coins but found them all in the jar that was filled with black ink. I though at first when i saw the coins that they were really supposed to be like that since I thought it was natural. I will never forget about that.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
