<p>[QUOTE="ArbySea, post: 6448765, member: 111309"]I started collecting in the early 60’s as a teenager and was able to find a nice variety of coins. I did buy my first (and only, so far) coin, a flying eagle cent, a few years later. I continued to be seriously involved with collecting through high school, but then life got in the way (though the habit of looking through my change always stayed with me). Now that I have retired, I have gotten more serious about collecting again; I joined the local coin club, and I make periodic trips to the bank for coin rolls. I was just about to talk myself into bidding on coins at the local meetings when Covid hit and I stopped getting out. Oh well. I did drop some serious hints to my family, and I got some nice coins as gifts for Christmas. Once I get my second shot I plan to get back to the local meetings and “local” coin shows and buy me another coin or two. FWIW, I don’t plan to sell anything, but thinking about new collectors, I did recently throw a few of my extra wheats into a roll I was returning to the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
