<p>[QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1880761, member: 47022"]I collected coins as a kid in the late 60s -early 70s. Although I got away from it while raising a family, I resumed collecting about four years ago. Then, my main goal was to fill the Whitman binders. I got one done, the Whitman #2 Lincoln book (41 and up). I had to buy the 55S Lincoln for about 2 bucks (big money then) when they were sky-high in price. Today, I not only finished another book, but completed the Washington quarter series from 32 -64 (pic below). The best part is that I was able to do so without paying more than melt value (whatever it might have been at the time I bought the various coins) for any coin. Believe it or not, the hardest coin to find was a good 1956P. I finally had to settle for a less than optimal one. I will continue to upgrade as better coins become available but, for now, the kid in me is ecstatic. </p><p><br /></p><p> [ATTACH]319013[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319014[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319015[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319016[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319017[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319018[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
