(The S mintmarks were always a tough find as I lived on the east coast)</p><p><br /></p><p>I later bought my first Redbook in the same drug store and was fascinated by the information and pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few months later I began hunting through rolls of dimes, quarters, and halfs looking for pre-1965 silver coins.&nbsp; I ended up pulling about $100 worth (face value) of silver coins out of rolls over the next couple of years -- including some very worn standing liberty quarters, mercury dimes, and walkers.&nbsp; So collecting lincoln cents was my initial foray into coins -- and pulling silver coins out of circulation was the secondary hook.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
