<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AdamL, post: 1369719, member: 6029&quot;]For my birthday (I think it was my ninth) my dad gave me two 1983 (the year I was born) proof sets. That got me somewhat interested. So a while later he gave me an 1899-O Morgan, which really got me hooked. I kinda lost some of my interest in my teens, but I still got my coins out and admired them occasionally. Then when I was 22 I was desperate for money, so I started going through my collection trying to figure out how much I could sell it for. While sorting through them, I realized how much I loved my coins, so I sold my car instead. I had 2 cars at the time though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I sold my gas guzzling Cadillac that I loved, because I decided I&#039;d rather keep the coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I told myself I would never sell any. In the last couple of years things have come up though and I&#039;ve been forced to sell a few. But I wrote down each one and plan to replace them.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was actually the story of how I got into coins, and the story of how I got BACK into coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo140/AdamL1983/Coins/Morgan%20Dollar%20Pics/1899.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo140/AdamL1983/Coins/Morgan%20Dollar%20Pics/1899r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This is the Morgan that got me hooked.
