<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wal888, post: 8531209, member: 96740&quot;]My first coin was a 1000 Réis coin from the 100th anniversary of the Independence of Brazil (1822-1922) that I got from my grandmother when I was 6 years old and I kept it for many years, thinking it was made of gold. I don&#039;t know what I did with that coin. I just remember that I lost interest in it after discovering it was made of bronze and not gold. I remember polishing the coin almost every day to see its golden glow.</p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/brazil-1000-reis-km-522.1-1922-cuid-1037837-duid-1277372" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/brazil-1000-reis-km-522.1-1922-cuid-1037837-duid-1277372" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/brazil-1000-reis-km-522.1-1922-cuid-1037837-duid-1277372</a></p><p>But the first coin that made me start a collection was a 1990 Lincoln Cent. After I saw the news that an American penny had sold for a lot of money, I looked for the coins that my wife had saved from our trips to Orlando/FL in 1997 and 2010 to go to Disney.</p><p>At that time (2018) when I started collecting I knew absolutely nothing about coins. My first visit to CT was to say that I had found a 1990 S not S coin, because I knew that the coin was shining beautifully and that it was exactly the one that should have the S but didn&#039;t, so it was worth a lot. It took me a long time to understand that Cent coins that should have the S but didn&#039;t would NEVER be in circulation, because they were specially made to be part of exclusive SETs for collection.</p><p>I got hit a lot because of my unfounded questions. I ended up learning more and today I&#039;m here as a modest collector, who still needs to learn a lot to reach the feet of the less knowledgeable among you. I don&#039;t even dream of being among the best in CT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
