<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jerryb, post: 1230560, member: 16838&quot;]I started coin collecting in 1948 (12 years old) ... I sent for a B. Max Mehl greenish catalog advertised in a Comic Book.&nbsp; Along with the book order I sent a question or two to them I wanted an answer to.&nbsp; Along with an answer I got an offer to buy a 1909SVDB cent in XF condition for $3.50 ... I worked hard hoeing beans (1/2 mile rows) for 2 cents a row with my step-dad and saved my money all summer.&nbsp; I finally had enough and sent Mr. Mehl the $3.50 in cash in an envelope ... and sure enough, about 2 weeks later, I owned my first purchased coin ... a 1909SVDB cent ... my step-dad said I was totally insane.&nbsp; I still own that coin and wouldn&#039;t sell it for anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
