<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dima, post: 599153, member: 18037&quot;]Started collecting when I was nine - kept going to a local bank and getting rolls to search for wheats, got a few Ikes; simple stuff like that.&nbsp; The oldest thing I had at the time was a 1941 merc dime I had found in the park a few years before.&nbsp; I kept bugging my parents to take me to a local coin shop and they agreed but not before they got me a Red Book.&nbsp; I read the thing cover to cover so they did end up taking me.&nbsp; Once we got there, I obviously wanted to buy everything the guy was selling but one set caught my eye especially.&nbsp; It was a little plastic case with a 1963 Unc. Franklin and a 1964 Unc. Kennedy.&nbsp; Since up to that point I only had modern stuff from the bank, it was really exciting to see a Franklin half so I got that set first.&nbsp; Then I went on to get a few very circulated indian head cents, V nickels, buffalo nickels, mercury dimes and steel cent.&nbsp; I moved the coins into 2x2 holders right away, but I still have the little plastic case. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice stroll down memory lane.&nbsp; Great contest idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
