<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2509707, member: 73165&quot;]I&#039;m sorry to hear this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t really &quot;like&quot; a post like this, so I&#039;ll share this little bit of info instead.&nbsp; My family basically tolerated my interest in coins.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; They didn&#039;t encourage or discourage me either way, for the most part.&nbsp; I collected primarily from circulation until I was around college aged.&nbsp; I got a couple of coin-related gifts (birth year proof set, some Whitman folders sans coins etc.), which I loved more than anything, but, honestly, we didn&#039;t really have the discretionary income to support it.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the coins I got from my grandmother was the 1986 Statue of Liberty half dollar proof. She died many years ago at a fairly young age, unfortunately.&nbsp; I don&#039;t still have that exact coin, but I do have one like it, also in the OGP as yours appears to be.&nbsp; It was one of my very first purchases when I got restarted collecting again recently.&nbsp;&nbsp; In a way, it&#039;s the most important piece in my entire collection. I do sort of wish I still had the exact coin, but the coin itself almost doesn&#039;t matter, because I have the memory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
