Message:: [QUOTE="stevex6, post: 1904630, member: 44183"]Well, I have a similar tale of a young lad being baby-sitted (baby-sat?) by his wonderful Grandmother (Granny, RIP) ... she collected Canadian and English and/or any coins when she "went abroad" and travelled (she was very cool and lived to be "96" years old!!)   She started me on my Canadian One Cent collection (I used the same folder, until just last year, when sadly, they stopped minting Canadian pennies ... how sad, eh? ... very sad ... end of a lifetime's routine, where I'd find a wonderful "almost uncirculated" penny and plug it into my wonderful ol' shelf-worn album!!) ... anyway ...  I was born in 1963, so by the time that the 1967-Bicentennial rolled-around, I was in Granny's wheelhouse (I was 4 years old) and she absolutely "loved" the animal-coins from 1967!!  Hmmm, obviously that's where I get my animal-coin obsession!! (I'm merely carrying-on the tradition!!) anyway ... I ended-up buying a sweet set of proof 1967 coins ...  Yup, I'm sure that Granny would have loved these babies!!
