<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TJ1952, post: 2283220, member: 76413&quot;]As a kid with a paper route back in the early 60&#039;s.&nbsp; (I was 10 or 11.&nbsp; Yes, kids had paper routes at that age back then)&nbsp; I would come home with every pocket full of change, my pants would be falling down.&nbsp; In 62 or 63, my grandfather sat me down and gave me a short history lessen on US coins.&nbsp; He explained silver coins would no longer be made after 64 and suggested I &quot;keep&quot; what I could.......I did.&nbsp; That&#039;s when the coin collecting thing hit me.&nbsp;&nbsp; When the Kennedy half&#039;s first came out in 64, I remember saving my penny&#039;s (and yes, they were probably wheat penny&#039;s, I don&#039;t remember), taking 50 to the bank and asking the teller: Do you have a Kennedy Half Dollar I could have for these 50 penny&#039;s please?....most of the time she did.&nbsp; That&#039;s how I first started filling my Kennedy books.&nbsp;&nbsp; If she didn&#039;t, I would ask for dimes, quarters or Franklin half&#039;s back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
