While being stationed in Washington, I passed by a coin store and I was lured once again...the glint of silver in the corner of my eye...caught my attention....that I bought my first slabbed coin and a couple of Morgan dollars in a junk pile...</span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: black">Ever since then...I have been going to coin shops/coin shows and purchasing slabbed silver coins I find interesting...coins have a way of putting you in a trance...Imagine, a coin dated 1879 and yet it looks like it just came off the mint...it makes you wonder how far the coin traveled until it reached in your hands???</span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: black">Thanks for taking the time to read and happy hunting=)</span></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: black">-acsf89</span></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
