<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldDan, post: 28359, member: 1872&quot;]Before the dawn of time...O.K. so it was only somewhere around 1930 that I was introduced into the world of coin collecting.&nbsp; My Grandfather thought it was time for me to start learning the finer points of “money”.&nbsp; I was conscripted into an apprenticeship of “coin appreciation”.&nbsp; This continued until I went into military service.</p><p><br /></p><p>Upon arriving back home, I became a “collecting journeyman” under the watchful eye of my Father, who was now in charge of the family’s collection.&nbsp; This arrangement was in effect until 1982 when I was left with the task of upgrading and finishing all series that had been started those many years ago.&nbsp; Task accomplished and finding no volunteers in the family to take over the job, I simply put the entire collection to good use.&nbsp; I placed it into a trust agreement whereby certain events are required to take place before the collection becomes the property of this other party, what they call a fiduciary duty of responsibility.&nbsp; Those events are now starting to materialize. ( collection spans the years of 1885 to 1999, all U.S. coins) </p><p><br /></p><p>I am currently making up a collection of Buffalo nickels.&nbsp; Each piece must be from a different state or territory.&nbsp; I also have&nbsp; the three complete ASE sets (uncirculated and proof, including the 95W’s), which I am keeping up to date.&nbsp; Doing a lot of reading and fishing as the mood strikes me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you know the whole story.......it’s been fun (most of the time).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
