<p>[QUOTE="justinmoss101, post: 1743685, member: 37869"]About 10 years ago my dad and I were cleaning out an attic of an old house that we had recently purchased. the house was an old house because they still used the square nails. For some reason my dad placed his hand up on one of the rafters, and sitting on top of the rafter was an absolutely beautiful 1920 standing liberty quarter. Ever since then I have been collecting like a mad man. One day at my first job (gas station attendant) about 5 mins until closing time a lady came in to pay for her gas with a huge bag of change. As I am counting out the change I spotted a very strange dime that had some reddish pink paint on it, so I decided to take it home. Upon a closer look I noticed that the coin was very beautiful and elegant, it was a mercury dime. Just like you I now collect coins because of the fact that they have so much history behind them (I love the Morgan dollars, I have 9 of them). I am currently attending Southwestern Michigan College and earning my degree in business and am planning to transfer to FSU in the fall. I am 21 years old and I also think that some times I wish I was born back in the early 1900"s. Things just seem like they were simpler back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck and happy hunting</p><p>Justin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
