Message:: [QUOTE="john65999, post: 8062057, member: 111931"]started collscting coins back when i was 8 yrs old, one of the neighbors had an foreign exchnge student (who became my gf, lol) anyways she introduced me to her cousin, dennis, and he got me interested in coins..started dealing when i was 13, full time, ddoing 40 shows a year..after the silver rise and crash kind of got out of it for 40 years, then started again this january, collecting errors, but back when i was 8 till 12 or so used to go to the bank in the same parking lot where me mum had her dollhouse store and used to sort through rolls (right at the counter they had for writing checks  and deposits) i would go through perhaps 30 or so rolls a day..back then was getting silver almost all the time, also would walk the town and hit all the banks, wait in line till i got to the teller, and look at their coin trays, any silver i saw i asked for, lol  so been doing it for a bit...my dad would take me to shows, (he sold stamps, heck, he had to do something whilst i was at the shows, i almost always made more than him..he would do 50-100.00 and i would gross thousands, i made deals with several coin shops where my dad would write a check for say 500.00, they would give me coins on consignment, usually rare ones, or say 40 0or 50 1 oz silver bars or a roll of morgans, whatever i did not sell i returned, got the check back and paid cash, minus 10% on the consignments..[/QUOTE]
