<p>[QUOTE="Tylercw7, post: 1302969, member: 34166"]Well i dont expect to win with my story but i think it might interest some people. To start off im 19 years old so not really young and in college but ive only been collecting coins about a year now. On December 17th, of last year ive had the first death close to me. It was one of these things i haven't really experienced and didn't quite know how to coupe with. A friend of mine since like first or second grade took him life. One day about a week or two later my mom didn't want me to just sit around the time so she made me go to an antique store with her. It was cool they had display cases with all kinds of neat things and in one case there was a bunch of old coins. I thought it was cool becomes i never thought of collecting coins and i thought they were the coolest things. I bought a roll of wheat cents for $2.50 and i thought they were the coolest things ever. I would go through and look at each one at a time. Ever since then i have been collecting coins buying a few here and there (which i cant do anymore cause im in college and no longer have a job), getting them from family members, just anyway i can. If by some miracle i won this coin which i doubt i will but im sure im not the only one that's had it rough i think it would be cool because it would be the first graded coin in my collection. My ultimate goal though is to one day be able to have a family and teach my kids about coins so i can pass my collection down to them. I think coin collecting is one of the few things that has given me joy in life and every time i get a new one even if its just finding a 50's wheat cent in change i feel like a little kid at Christmas when he opens the very first present. Good luck to everyone in this contest and thank you for the contest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
