<p>[QUOTE="mgmgmg75, post: 2959325, member: 75114"]I started with a neighbor, he was a teacher, and I TAPED cents to a cardboard! Quickly moved into Whitman folders. Dad would buy rolls to go through, it was the 1960's, of course a ton wheaties, and an Indian was not too uncommon. Morgans were released to the public and I remember my Dad would get a Morgan if he opened a bank account for some minimum amount of money, and got hooked on Morgans. Collected whatever I find and bought a few. Got married and had children, not much left of the budget to purchase anything. I did buy proof sets each year and latter ASE's each year, which I still do for my girls and Grandkids. Purchased what was interesting at flea markets, estate sales etc. Made a push to finish sets in Densco albums. Working on a Buffalo set, sat back and said why?? Most likely any set will be dismantled when I am gone anyway. I'll finish it but most likely will not start another set of any type. Right now I am content finding coins in the wild. </p><p>Also, any coin with history, such as my avatar. 1861 O half, minted under three different authorities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
