[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 20155, member: 824"]It is human nature we collect something. From teapots to fishing lures, most people like to collect something. As for coins, I started around 9 or 10 when my grandfather gave me two large cents from the 1850's and some flying Eagles. My other grandmother (not to be out done) gave me some Morgans and a whole mason jar off "wheaties" which she told me they will be worth money since they were not made anymore. I received a Whitman Folder and the I started filling slots. Since then I have collected on and off for the last 30 years or so. One quick point, I remember also getting a Red Book when I was young. I remember looking at the value of a 1909S-VDB penny in Uncirculated condition priced around $500 and at that time, it could have been $1 million dollars...but as time evolved, I remember the day I got one of those. To this day, I have always collected pennies and selected dollars. Hopefully, my kids or their kids will get hooked like I did. BTW, I still have those first coins![/QUOTE]
