And, of course, I saw all the cool coins he got in change out there -- 1921 Walkers of all mints, 1924-D cents, beat up old Indians from the 1880s and later, Barbers of all denominations, and much more. I guess that's where I caught the bug, probably by about 1972 when I was maybe 6 or 7.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, I think that sentiment is why I have most of them going back to the early 1960s, and why I still buy it every year.
