<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1177722, member: 22585&quot;]My father has always collected coins since before I was born. During my childhood he tried to get me involved by taking me to coin shows, stores and showing me his stuff. It never really clicked for me. He continued collecting up into the 1980&#039;s.</p><p>A couple of years ago he suffered a heart attack. It was of course life threatning, but he pulled through and is very much alive and happy today. He did however face his own mortality. So one day last year when I was visiting, he starting bringing out albums and boxes of coins. He wanted me to have them. He knew I wouldn&#039;t just sell them off and would treasure them.</p><p>I immidiately became a collector. I dove in head first and started buying every coin I could to fill the empty album holes. The rest is history.</p><p>Nothing makes me happier now then showing him all the new coins and finally being able to have a conversation about collecting and numismatics with by dad. It has brought us closer togethor then anything ever has. I just wish I would have started sooner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
