<p>[QUOTE="kountryken, post: 7842991, member: 89798"]You can be "wordy" as much as you want with me. I love your coin collecting story. I, too received some old coins in change, but no where near what you accomplished. However, I lived in the country, so I had few opportunities. We had a school that served the area, but didn't even have a caution light. I started out without electricity or running water. We had to move to get access to them. Didn't have a phone until I was a teenager, and it was an 8 party line, so didn't really have much of an opportunity to use it, lol. I'm not complaining, I was blessed. I wouldn't do any of that any different. But, I said all of that to say this. I didn't have much opportunity to collect more than just Wheat back cents. So that's all I focused on for years. Quit collecting for many years and just started back a few years ago. But, I do collect more than just Lincoln Cents now. Sorry, got to long winded, lol. Oh, to give you an idea how remote we were, there were 6 in my graduating class. And, like so many others have stated, I love to see anything from your collection![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
