<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 1178226, member: 19765&quot;]When I was a young boy growing up my grandpa would show me the different&nbsp;&nbsp; things he would come across in his daily ventures.&nbsp; He was retired but he&nbsp; always worked two or more&nbsp; jobs and always seemed to be right where all&nbsp; the goodies were.&nbsp; He would bring me tokens, medals and coins&nbsp; to look&nbsp; at and I was continually amazed.&nbsp; I grew up when silver coins where in&nbsp;&nbsp; circulation, but he would still come up with the older stuff that was&nbsp;&nbsp; difficult to find.&nbsp; A mercury dime, a standing liberty quarter, those&nbsp;&nbsp; coins were special to me because there wasn&#039;t anywhere else I could see&nbsp;&nbsp; them at the time.&nbsp; He possibly never even knew that he had passed on an&nbsp;&nbsp; intriguing hobby that would keep me looking and interested for&nbsp; many years to come.&nbsp; Unfortunately as life would have it his sadly&nbsp; ended&nbsp; abruptly when I was only 12yrs old in 1963.&nbsp; Still even today, I&nbsp;&nbsp; remember the times we spent together and I consider the memories a&nbsp; treasure I will never forget.</p><p><br /></p><p>TY for the contest!!&nbsp;&nbsp; :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
