<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1536294, member: 40340"]Ok i try to keep it short. One of my best friends growing up was an avid penny collector very young (10ish) but he got me started collecting as well</p><p>for years we competed to fill our books but sharing our finds and extras at the same time. We each also had our treasure coin. His was a 1858 FE mine was an 1876 IH both were crappy condition but they were our treasures. when his family moved away in our teens. As parting gifts we exchanged our treasure coins. Sweet, and it should end there but it doesn't. Lots of years passed sold collection that i no longer had time for. 4 years ago i was medicaly retired. About a year ago my brother calls and tells me he found my old "treasure box" in the basement of our old house and mails it to me. Sure enough in the back corner of the box is that 58 Flying Eagle and the start of my new collection. Going strong now that i actualy really have the time to enjoy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
