<p>[QUOTE="eric0911, post: 1208985, member: 27051"]Both of my grandfathers collected coins, and they were always giving me coins to try to get me in to collecting. I would look at it for a few seconds, then set it somewhere and forget about it.In August 2010, me and my parents were helping clean out my grandparents old shed and we found a crate of my Dad's old stuff. Normal things like report cards, yearbooks, etc. I was getting bored when I saw a couple old Whitman folders. I opened them up and saw Lincoln cents 1909-1974. They weren't complete, but I was really interested in them. When I saw the 1943 steel I thought, like most people who don't know about coins "WOW, this is rare!" We were almost finished when my Dad found a 1909 plain. I went home and did some research, I found that the 1943 was only worth a couple cents and when I saw the price on the 1909 S I looked for an S under a loupe for what felt like forever. I didn't find one, but from then on I was hooked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
