<p>[QUOTE="theSharpGun, post: 1529472, member: 39683"]I'm the second oldest in a family of four brothers and one sister but I'm the only one who seriously collects coins. I'm sort of the nerd/geek of the family haha My father got me started in collecting coins. He had started when he was young by collecting junk silver and when I expressed interest in the hobby he helped me out as much as possible. He gave me tons of coins and knowledge along with them. Occasionally he'll find me coins and give them to me. He's been doing this for years and I admire him so much. </p><p><br /></p><p>My baby brother however (he's 8 now) has started following the same path that I did haha About a week ago we were at a book store and we were walking around the store together and we saw a section of coin collecting books and supplies. I picked up one for my Mercury Dimes and was about to leave but then my baby brother grabbed a lincoln cent book "1930-58". I remembered that he recently got a 1935 Lincoln cent from a coin store and was probably wanting to start a collection. So I grabbed that book for him too. When we got home I gave him the book as well as three rolls of Lincoln cents that I had lying around. I told him that all the coins that he could fit in the folder were his but that he would have to work on the rest of the folder himself. He spent the whole afternoon figuring out which coins went where, how rare they were, and which was the "best-looking" coins haha</p><p><br /></p><p>He's still working on it today hahaha[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
