<p>[QUOTE="cmilladoo, post: 1383023, member: 36516"]what up Cman....chris here....i don't what you consider to be young but at 30 years of age and no kids i still feel young.....i have been collecting for about two years so if that counts here goes. I have always collected (my girlfriend says hoarded) random things during my life from rocks, to basketball cards, to comic books and have always talked about starting a coin collection. I never did break the ice on that until my girlfriend brought me home a buffalo nickel from work because she loves them and thought that i could use it to start my collection. I looked it up and found out that it was a 1931s nickel in extremely good shape considering she found it in the register at work and is also one of the rarer buffalo's out there. I took that as a sign and popped on down to my local coin shop the next day and picked up a red book and a couple coins and the rest is history. This isn't the best story out there i'm sure but its real and it is what it is. I also love the walking liberty's and recently bought nice 1917 s obverse.....so there is my story...happy early birthday homie, i'm off to dominate my fantasy baseball draft![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
