<p>[QUOTE="Shamrock111, post: 1306253, member: 34382"]I just turned 18 and i have been collecting coins since i was a young child. My grandfather was the one who got me into it and i quickly surpassed him by the time i was a teenager. Soon after that i was diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism at the Children Hospital of Philadelphia due to a small cyst on my pituitary gland. This prevented the growth hormones from getting to the rest of my body preventing me from growing. I had to get growth hormone injected daily through shots. As time went by i became more and more fascinated with coins. Then i found out one of my friends dads was a coin collector too. I eventually became close to him and he eventually started to sell me coins i needed for my dansco albums. I started off with pennies and nickels, then got to silver dimes and quarters. after all that i moved on to halves and dollars. Coin collecting has helped me over the years get through all the rough stuff life threw at me. It has always helped me get my mind off of the world around me and enjoy life for what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
