<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GreatWalrus, post: 1368746, member: 35925&quot;]I am one of the newer generation folk that some seem to believe are only into video gaming and the internet and have no real time/interest in coin collecting.&nbsp; In some ways, I was that kind of kid growing up.&nbsp; However, my Grandma and Grandpa were avid coin collectors, and when I was around 8 years old, they gave me a map album to collect and store the new state quarters in. Each year, I would look for the new coins in our spare change after shopping and add them to my map. </p><p><br /></p><p>When my Grandma passed, my Grandpa sought to continue her collection and bought me a few coins that he would send to me randomly in the mail or give to me as gifts as I was growing up.&nbsp; For quite a while, I shrugged them off, thinking I&#039;d never really have much of a collection because coins seemed to cost too much.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, my Great Aunt passed away and, as we were cleaning out her old condo, I came across my late Great Uncle&#039;s coin collection.&nbsp; I was elated to see all the different varieties of cool coins he had, from many different years and countries (that I assume he accumulated during his military duty). Even though the collection was valuable, and my dad wanted to sell it for the silver content, I was insistent on trying to hold onto it because the coins were interesting and meaningful to me.&nbsp; In the end, my dad saw it from my point of view and has let me keep the collection. Since then, my interest in coins has been growing quite rapidly.&nbsp; But I must be careful not to get too addicted to it since, as a college student, I really should be spending my money wisely and sparingly!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks for holding this contest.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Brian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
