<p>[QUOTE="coinman1234, post: 2281365, member: 51208"]My oldest memory of coin collecting was at age 5 or 6 when there was a contest in the phone book for a handful of free world coins, I told my mother what to write and to send the slip in the mail. I then remember an envelope of world coins showing up in the mail some time later. I also remember a teacher telling me about silver coins at age 7 or so, and how any quarter before 1965 and with a solid silver edge would be silver. After that I remember checking every quarter my parents got in change. Around that same time I remember that I tried to fill up a penny board with wheat cents. Then at around age 10 I remember buying my first coins at the coin shop down the street.</p><p><br /></p><p>How did you start collecting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
