<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panda, post: 964232, member: 24443&quot;]when i was young probably around 5, i got my first coin. i just barely remember it, i was with my sisters dad(was pretty much my dad, RIP) and his dad. we went to some indoor flee market and they were looking at gold and silver bars. i wondered around and loved the buffalo nickel because of the Indian on it. they ended up getting me a few and i kept them close to me for a long time. sadly they got lost on one of the many moves, i have had.</p><p><br /></p><p>this was in the summer time and the first year i started football. i never got to go back and get more. after that, football took over my life all the way through high school.</p><p><br /></p><p>now just over 6 months ago, my girls mother gave me a box of coins she found in her attic. they belonged to her ex(girls step dad), and he didn&#039;t want them anymore. his family is really big into coins and antiques. they own antique shops and travel all over for that kinda thing. he mostly collects revo and civil war items, with a little bit of coins. anyway she gave me the coins to sell and help raise money for some computer tools i needed. after researching them, i fell in love again. since then i have visited and talked to her step dad and his dad, looked at their shop collection and personal collection. they give me more coins whenever i see them and my best ones came from them(S-VDB, 1901-S $5 $10 &amp; $20 golds). the grand father said he is going to give me the majority of his coins, shop and personal, when he passes. he likes the fact he is getting someone who is somewhat younger(22) into coin collecting and he fears his time is coming(hope i never does).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
