<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1178075, member: 5233&quot;]My interest in coin collecting began when I was in middle school.&nbsp; One day, my dad and I were looking for something inside his large gun safe when I discovered a stack of old Whitman Coin Folders.&nbsp; I started flipping through them and my dad explained that when he was younger collected coins.&nbsp; I thought they were really interesting.&nbsp; Then, I picked up one of the folders and it was heavy.&nbsp; I opened it to find a nearly complete 1941-74 folder...and my eyes shot to the 1943 cents.&nbsp; I had never seen anything like them.&nbsp; My dad explained the story behind them and I was hooked.&nbsp; A few days later we visited a local small coin shop and I bought my first coins, a few 1943 cents and a BU 1881-S Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; I got to know the shop owner and soon was spending hours in his shop chatting, looking at coins and learning.&nbsp; I even remember one time my parents told him I had gotten a bad grade on a test and he refused to sell me any coins until my grades improved...and it motivated me to do better in school.&nbsp; It didn&#039;t take long, and I was hooked for life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
