<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1599259, member: 15309&quot;]So I just started going through some of my ungraded material, and I stumbled upon my childhood collection which included a Liberty Nickel folder.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]224661.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember buying this folder from Mr. Kane of Kane&#039;s Coins on Asbury Ave. in Ocean City, NJ in 1981.&nbsp; I was 9 years old and I used to take my allowance down to his store and spend hours deciding what to buy with my money.&nbsp; He was a really nice old man and didn&#039;t care that I hung around the shop all day because I was generally quiet and never interrupted him when he was dealing with an adult.&nbsp; When the shop was slow, he would teach me how to grade circulated coins.&nbsp; What I liked was the prices of his coins and supplies.&nbsp; I only had a $1 weekly allowance but was able to get this used old folder and some Liberty nickels for just a few weeks pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]224662.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]224663.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also remember the stories about the famous 1913 Liberty Nickel and the dream of finding a 6th one day.&nbsp; But in the mean time, I was very grateful to the guys at Whitman Publishing for helping out a little kid.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]224664.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly, I happened upon a Liberty Nickel and could actually read the word Liberty.&nbsp; I remember as a kid thinking that a readable &quot;LIBERTY&quot; was the ultimate sign of quality in a US coin.&nbsp; From IHC&#039;s to Barbers, we always wanted a full LIBERTY.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]224665.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing quite like a little trip down memory lane![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
