<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 486359, member: 15518&quot;]The nice thing about collecting back in the early 1950&#039;s was the <i>variety</i> of coins you could pull from circulation. I was able to complete (well, almost complete) collections of SLQ&#039;s, walkers, buffalo nickels, etc., just by checking my parents change (and having a grandmother that would grab a few rolls from the bank every once in awhile for me to check). Plus there was still quite a few Barber&#039;s out there. Then there was the hoopla in 1954 over the Henning nickels... most of us kids were able to pick up a few (they originated in Camden NJ, not far from where I lived). But as stated, by the early sixties I began to lose interest, and sold my collection in 1969. Getting back into collecting after nearly forty years has been an amazing experience. So I&#039;m a firm believer in the &quot;cycle&quot; theory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
