<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 2960258, member: 72642&quot;]I&#039;m the oddball of coin collecting as I NEVER saw any reason to collect from spare change.&nbsp; Spare change was what I used as a youngster to buy my passion--large cents--especially the earlier ones.&nbsp; There were always enough empty pop bottles around that along with skipping the Saturday movie once or twice a month (my 25 cent allowance) I could purchase a coin every couple of months or so.&nbsp; Then about age 17 (1969) I came to the conclusion that I had the die marriages that I could afford and was never going to be able to get all the die marriages I wanted.&nbsp; Al Overton had just released his first version of &quot;Early Half Dollar Varieties&quot; a couple of years earlier and I decided to step up to halves.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been hooked ever since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
