<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jedinited, post: 4937602, member: 80224&quot;]I started collecting in the late 50s...pocket change and sorting through bank rolls to fill Whitman folders.&nbsp; Saved all the buffalo nickels and mercury dimes, but that really cut into my ballcard money.&nbsp;&nbsp; Occasionally I had enough money to get a silver dollar or two from the bank, as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>By the time I was 14, I had accumulated a dresser drawer full of coins.&nbsp; I grew up on a farm.&nbsp; One night after coming home from a FB game, we saw a vehicle going over the horizon of the field behind our house.&nbsp; I ran in the open back door and found the house ransacked.&nbsp; The thieves had taken the dresser drawer with all my coins and wrapped it up with the bedsheet.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, even though I was dejected, I started over and accumulated a few coins over the next 20 or so years.&nbsp; When I started to get more serious in the mid-80s, I found that old stash which I had stored in a fishing tackle box.&nbsp; That group isn&#039;t worth much, but it remains in that container to this day...in a safe.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
