<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 1464198, member: 17665"]I was wondering if anyone from the Berkshires in western Massachusetts remembers Melvins Drug Store on North Main St. in Great Barrington? It was where I started my coin collecting experiance. They only sold supplies for collecting but thats where it started for me back in 1966. My grandmother gave me a 1923 Peace dollar for mowing her lawn and other assorted chores, so while browsing thru the store with my paper route money I came across an aisle with loads of collecting supplies and found an folder to house my new aquisition. After that my collecting experiance exploded. I would go to the First Mahawie Bank on main st. and get a couple of rolls of pennies, go to the water fountain in front of the town hall and search and fill the holes each week. The drugstore burned in the 70's and the bank is long gone but what a wonderful experiance it all was. Those really were the good old days!.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
