<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Virginian, post: 4835445, member: 27579&quot;]Thx.&nbsp; Mine started more recently (1963) and started out as a hobby to see all the different types and dates of coins I could find in my grandpa&#039;s change.&nbsp; It was NOT unusual at that time to find coins that were more than 50 years old, and there was a LOT of variety . . . Indian head cents (and Lincolns, of course), Buffalo nickels (and Jeffersons), Mercury dimes (and Roosevelts), standing Liberty quarters (kind of rare, even back then) (and Washingtons) . . . &quot;wheat&quot; cents were no big deal.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t give a thought to silver coins - ALL dimes, quarters and halves were silver!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I&#039;m about the same age as grandpa was back then, about the only &quot;old&quot; coins I ever find in change are those hated 1964 Jefferson Nickels <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; VERY rarely even a meager wheat cent.&nbsp; It&#039;s just not the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
