<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPD3, post: 7447295, member: 116216&quot;]Started collecting as a youngster to obtain a Scout merit badge. Even after the merit badge, still collected and built up a stellar collection. That all took a back seat to me learning how to drive and becoming enamored with the fairer sex. I remember playing Mr. big shot one time on a double date and paying for dinner and a movie for all four of us with 2 pockets full of Morgan and Peace dollars.</p><p>Built up the collection again and cashed in the silver when the Hunt Bros. cornered the market. Did buy a nice 1979 Pontiac Lemans with proceeds. Don&#039;t know what I miss more, the convertible or the silver.</p><p>Third time my collecting took a hit was when the &#039;good stuff&#039; lined the pockets of a couple of divorce lawyers.</p><p>Last time I almost wiped the slate clean was to purchase a piece of foreclosed property, flip it and make a tidy profit.</p><p>Been building up the ever revolving collection again since 2000. I guess we could all play the &#039;what if&#039; game. But sometimes life takes strange turns. I just take the ups and downs as all part of the hobby.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
