<p>[QUOTE="SchwaVB57, post: 3056050, member: 84518"]Every birthday and special occasion, I had an Great-uncle that gave each kid an old Liberty Type I Double Eagle. His rule was to save them, since they were all differ dates/mint marks. My father and grand-father also collected cents and Morgan Dollars. I just started pulling coins from rolls and putting them in books. I was also fortunate to start when Buffalo Nickels, Indian cents, Mercury Dimes, a few Barber coins were still were circulating, Walkers, and Old Ben was still being minted. I have bought very few coins in my life, almost everything is inherited, or from circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
