<p>[QUOTE="CoinCollectorDS, post: 1385463, member: 29180"]I started collecting coins last year sometime. I was simply bored and decided that I'd try to get all the state quarters from my pocket change. This led to me finding wheaties and eventually learning about silver US coins. I started speaking with family about my new found hobby and wouldn't you know it several of my elder relatives that have passed away also collected coins. I ended up inheriting a small bag of coins that had been my grandmothers. It contained my first silver 25c,10c Merc, 10c rosie and several other us coins. Over the year I've been reaserching coins and finding them wherever and whenever I can. My favorite coin in my collection at this point is one that was givin to me by my step father. This is kind of a crazy story here. He works at a scrap yard and one day while he was sorting through "brass" he found 2 of these what I believe to be 1lb silver morgan replica. Thanks for the contest! and Here's a pic of my favorite coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I placed the 25c peice to show the size of this beast :[ATTACH]164909.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]164910.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
