<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jnstrom, post: 383515, member: 14985&quot;]My Grandfather really got me into coin collecting. He grew up with silver dollars and Gold Eagles and he kept them close because the depression. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Im sure he looked at those coins everytime something bad happened and wondered who would buy them if things got worse. But some how he held onto a few of them to share with me. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So... I think it is the up-bringing that you had that starts one collecting. Someone gets you excited and the next thing your doing is hunting for coins or cards or what have you. The African american culture in the early 1900s was well...bad. Very high poverty and so forth, so I think there were less African American&#039;s who held onto coins for very long. Coin Collecting to them ment keeping food off the table which in-turn leads to less trickle down the family tree effect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My opinion anyway. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
