<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincolncent, post: 1177999, member: 22506&quot;]I was in sixth grade when I found a wheat penny in my dads change. I found it interesting and the library at school just happened to have a Redbook (from 1996 I believe) that the librarians coin-collecting husband had donated. I got that thing and looked at it cover to cover and that got me started. For the next four years I just pulled what I could from change. Bought my first coin in Gatlinburg an unremembered number of&nbsp; years later for 20 bucks. Its an 1889-O with a bad word carved in the front although I thought it was just random scratches to begin with. My sophomore year a coin dealer moved into a flea market and from then on it was gung-ho for me. Bought stuff as soon as I could afford it with my loose change. Unfortunately this dealer recently moved and I haven&#039;t seen or spoken to him since last August. However he was probably the best thing that ever happened for me b/c of his knowledge and just the fact I could buy coins somewhere close to home. Thats how I got started lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
