<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 680821, member: 6763&quot;]Sorry, I just saw the note to add something interesting about yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I started collecting coins from my paper route.</p><p><br /></p><p>What really got me going were two events:</p><p>1) First was finding an Indian Head cent, a 1909, in my mother&#039;s change the first day that I was trying to fill a Lincoln cent album. At first I just thought that it was a foreign cion. Then I turned it over. The next day I was in the library reading a copy of Yeoman&#039;s red book, and have been fascinated.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) The next event was getting a 1916 Barber quarter for payment on my paper route, I remember looking back at the house and seeing the person looking at me. I thought (once again) that it was a foreign coin, until I turned it over. I still rememebr the look of that eagle on the reverse. It was love at first sight.&nbsp; </p><p>I still wonder if they thought that they had started a collector? or that they screwed the kid?</p><p><br /></p><p>In spite of periods when I took a break from collecting, I never really completely gave it up. Today I specialize in Barber dimes, quarters, and half dollars. And, of course, the ubiquitous Red Books.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s my story, and I&#039;m sticking to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the contest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
