<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 366015, member: 3011&quot;]I think it was a combination of things.&nbsp; First, there were a lot of Canadian coins in circulation back then, and my parents used to pull out the pennies and nickels for me to save.&nbsp; I still have them.&nbsp; I also found a few indian head cents still in circulation in those days.&nbsp; Then, I received some of my grandfather&#039;s morgan and peace dollar &quot;collection.&quot;&nbsp; He wasn&#039;t a real coin collector but had a lot of silver dollars that he saved just because he liked them.&nbsp; Like other folks, I began searching through pocket change for the legendary but never to be found 1909s vbd and 1955 double die cents.&nbsp; There were other events I could relate, but it was mostly my parents and grandfather who originally got me interested, although they never really seriously collected themselves. After a few years, I sort of lost interest, then picked up the bug again about five years ago and began to collect silver dollars and silver eagles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
