<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 24291, member: 824&quot;]The oldest coin I received as a 10 year old was a 1850&nbsp; Large Cent.&nbsp; To me, I had a coin before the Civil War.&nbsp; I imagined where it had been, what it was used for and the &quot;stories&quot; it could tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a lover of history, I look at coins as a measurement and moment of time.&nbsp; I look at CC Morgans and wonder if this was what outlaws in the old West were robbing banks for...or if they were thrown on a salon poker table to call a raise.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look at a 1914 penny as the start of World War I...or a 1880 Morgan as when my ancestors first set foot on American soil.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before I get carried away, I am sure that most of us that collect coins are&nbsp; lovers of history and probably watch our fair share of the History channel when were are not surfing the net for &quot;coin stories&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
