<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EjPretzer, post: 1371495, member: 36234&quot;]In general, my coin collecting hobby started spontaneously one day. I was looking at some change after buying a few comics up in Canada and was really into the interesting patterns on the pieces. So, I said &quot;why not&quot; and decided to start collecting. At first, it was small stuff, world coins, circulating state quarters, etc. But as the years went by, I started to diversify, currency, world coins, etc. If I had to pick which one of my pieces was my favourite, I would choose an item I got from my grandfather. Now, he was a little crazy mind you, so Im not sure whether the story about the piece is true or not. But one time when I was visiting him, he gave me an 1839 5$ U.S. gold piece. I was rather curious as to where he got it, so I asked. His response, &quot;I got it from your great grandfather, he told me he got it from a chinese man whom he cheated out of some poker winnings many many years ago,Also, dont tell your grandmother I gave you this, shed freak out if she knew I was giving our valuables away, family be dammed.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
