<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2959267, member: 5233&quot;]I started collecting when I was about 11 or 12.&nbsp; I got interested when my dad showed me his old Whitman folders from when he was a kid...I remember being fascinated by the 1943 Lincoln Cents.&nbsp; The &#039;43 cent is what got me interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I got a stack of Whitman cardboard folders and started filling them out of circulation.&nbsp; I think I had every denomination and I remember being annoyed because (at least in my experience)...coins quarters and larger tended to fall out.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, it got me hooked.&nbsp; I found a local coin shop I would visit and I tried to collect everything.&nbsp; Ultimately I gravitated towards Morgan Dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, my interests are much more refined.&nbsp; I tend to focus on type coins and when I can key dates.&nbsp; I still love Morgan and Peace Dollars and long term what to assemble complete sets.&nbsp; I also have an affinity for the Washington Quarter (32-98).&nbsp; I have also found a deep interest in German coinage...specifically Kingdom of Prussia, Deutches Reich and Modern coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, I&#039;m much more about quality over quantity.&nbsp; I would prefer to find a nice $100 coin than 50 $2 coins.&nbsp; That is a complete reversal of my early collecting style.&nbsp; But, I find a smaller higher quality collection far more gratifying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
