<p>[QUOTE="McBlzr, post: 1504085, member: 4027"]My dad & 3 uncles got me started at age 6 with a Lincoln Cent folder. In 1960, at age 12 I got a Dayton Daily (ohio) newspaper route 7 days a week. I collected 67 cents per customer per week. Would you believe that some people would try to cheat you out of 67 cents per week back then. Dad got me Proof sets from the US Mint for $2.10 per set. In 1964, when the Kennedy half came out, I think we ordered 25 Proof sets. Sometime during my teen years, I found a VF 1937-D 3 legged Buffalo in my Dad's pocket change. About a year later, some guy offered me an Unc. $20 Liberty Gold coin for it. So I traded, so after all these years, I think I am ahead with the gold. Besides, I bought another 3 legger years ago, to make up for the original one. It has been a great hobby. Collect what ever you like and spend what you can aford. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
