<p>[QUOTE="Jon4485, post: 1178095, member: 25890"]like many of the others i got started from my grandparents. It was mostly my grandma who got me into collecting. About 10 or so months ago my grandma gave me a bunch of old coins mercury dimes, seated dimes, morgans, peace dollars and you name it, i even found a 1910-s wheat cent in the bunch. Well from then on i was hooked. I quickly became addicted to this hobby and kept asking my grandma for more coins. She said she might have some in here cedar chest and was i surprised to find at least 15 morgan/peace dollars, a 2 cent piece, many silver dimes mercs seated and roosevelt, and some nice barber quarters, and even nicer walkers and ben franklin half dollars. She, like the great grandma she was gave them to me no questions or anything. I practically extracted every coin she had in her house lol. She was happy to look for coins in her house because she knew it made me happy. I know she has looked everywhere, she told me she searched even her kitchen drawers and i found some nice steelies. Anyway to wrap it up, because of how generous my grandma is I now visit coins sites regularly,roll search, search all the change in get back, buy coins, visit the coin store and even search my bills for star notes and errors ( and did i forget to mention the 100's of silver certificates my grandma gave me LOL !!!!). I love my grandma !!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the contest![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
