<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 570017, member: 17919&quot;]I attended my first coin club meeting/bourse in 1967, when I was invited by a customer on my paper route who wanted to help me work on my Cub Scout merit badge for coin collecting. That is where I saw my first US gold coin, a $20 Liberty that someone was offering for $60. At the time, I had been led to believe that it was illegal to hold gold coins, and I was shocked to see someone openly displaying one! And a little worried, too. But my paper route customer told me that there was no legal problem with holding US gold coins. But I still couldn&#039;t have bought it, because $60 was a king&#039;s ransom for me in those days. I ended up buying a near dateless 3-cent silver piece with a hole in it for 50 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
