<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sketcherpbr, post: 1178469, member: 15350&quot;]When I was in high school, I found an old change purse in my dad&#039;s closet.&nbsp; When I opened it, there were a bunch of really old coins in it, and I have a very strong appreciation for old things (I&#039;m a geologist now <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).&nbsp; Included in this purse was a 1819 Capped Bust Half Dollar, a 1912 V-nickel, a 1910 quarter eagle(!), the rarer of the two Pilgrim half dollars, and several other old coins. I made sure to hide these in my room, because I knew my dad would probably try to sell them at some point and I wanted to hand them down to future generations.&nbsp;&nbsp; Since then my collection has grown based on my experiences with this forum and with a friend of mine who also collects.&nbsp; I now understand the potential value of every-day change more than ever (found a buffalo nickel and a &#039;64 Roosie the other day!).&nbsp; Coin Talk has been a great part of my life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
