<p>[QUOTE="Mainebill, post: 1903691, member: 44004"]Welcome to ct. I started with those blue Lincoln cent folders in the early 80s and a copy of the redbook I think ca 1983. And then I started buying ihc and buffalo nickels. then I met an older gentleman who collected coins and also sold them I asked him if he had any large cents for sale for low money as I was 7or 8 he brought a few by and I bought a 15 stars 1817 for $5 he'd also sometimes give me his old copies of coin world. I remember he had a flowing hair silver dollar in his type set he prized I said someday I'll have one too!! I collected off and on through high school and later and being in the antique business I'd often see coins at auctions and would often buy them (the early ones) I'd kinda followed coins but not too serious then about 4 years ago I joined the 21st c and got an iPhone one night while bored I'd got an ad for ha coin auctions and clicked on it and saw all the coins I wanted but never saw local. A monster was created it lit my passion for coins again and I haven't stopped. I've started to get more involved with the coin community here tho nobody's ever met me in person <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> someday I'll make it to coin shows and be more social but it's hard when I got 2 businesses to run[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
