    The coin that started my collecting was given to me by my Aunt in 1948. It is the 1883 w/o cents nickel. I still have it.

    I've posted this plenty of times before, but here's my maternal grandfather's silver WW2 deployment medal. A kind stranger had it and tracked down my mother. She gave it to Mom, and Mom gave it to me.

    I don't only (although mostly) collect bust halves. Ialso have a classic commem collection called the "Babydoll Memorial Collection" so-called because my late wife used to buy me a new one every Christmas, birthday, and anniversary. Her eye for classic commems was better from day one than mine is after 60 plus years of collecting.

    This was given to me a couple of years ago by a friend.

    If only it were not counterfeit! Oh, well...

    This was given to me recently by the same friend. It's not worth much, but he is elderly and in bad health, and this was the last of his coins. It was also one of the first of his coins, so to me it is sentimentally valuable.

    I was given this small pocket coin holder by my father back in the 68'-72' era sometime. He said they are coin that his father got while he delivered milk, as he was a dairy farmer.

    There are some fun coin and coin related items here. Neat idea for a thread. I took one of my Uncles to his first coin show. He ended up buying a few things. I wouldn't say I hooked him but he said he had a real good time. I guess sometime during the show he had bought a few 1OZ rounds. He gave me one and kept one.

    I’ve seen eight others in bronze, which had been given to Champion employees. Granddaddy’s is the only silver one I’ve seen. He was the son of the cofounder of the company. My great-grandfather, Reuben Buck Robertson Senior (1879-1972) was instrumental in starting Champion Paper in Western NC around 1907 or thereabouts.

    Those old Talers and Thalers never seem to straight grade, cool coin either way though.

    My dad got me this 2 cent piece in the 1980s and I was hooked. My first coin.
