Message:: [QUOTE="collectingkid, post: 1243576, member: 32116"]I was at Barnes and Nobels my mom dropped me off in there to look for a book, however I went to the watch section (my dad got a new watch) and there was the coin folders, I just looked at them thought it would be cool to collect, but I didnt want to because I knew I would enjoy it a lot. So spent 30 minuets looking through coin books and decided to get the state quarter album because it was my dream to collect them back in 2005. So I got that folder and a 1988-1998 quarter book. A week later I got the lincoln cents 1930-1958 book and a 1958-1998. I searched lots of websites for cool coins and found lots of facts about them and won an ebay auction of 3 Indian Head Cents. Thats when I began the hobby seriously. I went to a coin store and got my last 10 years completed a week from that 20 years completed and after that I knew lots about coins and I began my 1857-1909 collection of FEC and IHC! Also I got coins that I thought were a good deal. Now Im starting a Mercury Dime collection and finishing my IHC collection. I am proud to collect because its fun and gives me knowledge about the history of US coins, I sat and told my mom one day everything I knew about the history and Im sure she is happy that Im a coin collector.
