<p>[QUOTE="Bman33, post: 2727563, member: 77126"]I didn't start collecting til last year but I fall into the class of 2011. Buying silver when it was at $14.00 an ounce kickstarted my interest in coins. I thought I would just invest in silver but I got mesmorized by some of the coins at the shops I was getting my bullion from. I joined a coin club and have been on the run ever since. Between this site, my coin club, and coin shows I have learned a lot. My collection is pretty humble still as I only buy modern 90% silver Kennedy halves and 40% Silver Ikes. I have my eyes set on Morgans but want to learn a lot more before I buy anything over $100.00. I have brought my 10 year old niece and 8 year old nephew into the hobby also. It started with me buying them ASE's then they started collecting their own. They both are Junior members of the coin club and attend it with me regularly. I think the seed has been planted for them, as they have there collections and love showing it off to family members. When they get into their teens they may loose interest for awhile but then come back to the hobby later I hope.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
