<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drathbun, post: 1884192, member: 42789&quot;]I would like to submit a coin that started me back into coin collecting. I got a Walking Liberty half dollar as part of an estate. (My wife&#039;s Aunt passed last year.) As part of her estate I ended up with a number of old coins, silver certificates, and one walker that looked like it had never been touched. I did take it to one coin show to ask for opinions on whether it had been cleaned, and the general opinions were that it had not been.&nbsp; I have since placed it in an Airtite. It&#039;s a later date (1942) so not exceptionally rare, but as I said it did rekindle my childhood interest in coins. The coin is in fantastic shape; one vendor I showed it to suggested that it would be &quot;Choice&quot; AU. I&#039;ve learned enough to understand what that means. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have since been to two additional coin shows, helped my older son earn his Coin Collecting merit badge for Boy Scouts, and seen my younger son turn into a coin roll hunter as we strive to complete our America the Beautiful quarters collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>So for me, it&#039;s not the actual value of the coin that is important, but what it has brought me back to and introduced my sons to as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
