<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fred13, post: 1184061, member: 20688&quot;]My mother used to go to a flea market in Manhattan back 7 years ago when I was 10 years old. On one of those visits I managed to stray from my mother while she was looking at a vendors items. Anyways I made it to another vendor who happened to be a coin dealer. He had 5 large binders full of coins and a bowl full of bargain coins for 1 dollar each. Being attracted to the brightness and shinyness of the bargain bin I pulled my hand in there and grabbed the first coin I could. It happened to be a Moracco 10 Francs 1371 coin. Now Moracco dates its coins differently so that 1371 coin is actually minted in 1951. Having no idea of that fact at the time I stand in place shocked at how old this coin is and rush to go to my mom to tell her to purchase this for me. My mom never one to dissapoint me buys me the coin and from their my passion of coin collecting began which would in years time would&nbsp; lead me to purchasing a few real ancient coins myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
