<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8151523, member: 77704&quot;]Donna/ I was gently nudged into coins by my Grandfather back in Germany. He used to tell me stories about pirates/ treasure when i was 4/5 years old. Also the &quot;Brothers Grimm&quot; Fairy Tales had lots of stories about gold coins. Then, when I was eight or so, my Dad (also a coin collector) got me hooked by giving me a gold coin for Christmas/ Birthday presents. I went to the CNA coin show with my Dad when I was 15/ NFA/ Stacks/ Paramount had reps there/ thus I got on their mailing lists, for auction catalogues. Now, I get 200 catalogues each year, have a vast library. Probably, would be better today for parents to get kids into numismatics then &quot;smartphones&quot;.</p><p>John</p><p>PS: Imagine, after all that time/ I am still stuck at 985 AV/ 72 AR coins<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I hope to break the 1000 in 2022.
