<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1961894, member: 3726"]While Lincolns are not what I collect they are what I started on back in the late 60's. We used to go to grandma's house on Sunday morning. Each sunday me and my brother were allowed to search her pennies for Wheaties. So each week we would find a few and dad would put them back. Eventually dad bought some of the old blue Whitman albums and we started filling them in. After a few years they got put aside, but it got dad to collecting US proof sets. He did this until a few years ago - then he sold them all because frankly the only person interested in coins was me. So he might as well enjoy the fruits of his labor himself - which was fine with me. At that time he gave me the old blue albums. I took the best of them and put them in a dansco album. Then I started filling in the key dates and the other coins needed. The album is now filled - well except for one pesky 2009 that I can't find in change. Not sure I would ever sell them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
