<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26512452, member: 104064&quot;]I was earning $5 to mow one acre lawns around that same time (1970-ish). I don&#039;t think mowers were even self-propelled back then so it was a lot of work for $5. I spent some of it on coins. Still have a few in the original 2x2s. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1689972[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My brother and I were in the coin club at school, 7-8th grade and maybe first year of high school. The high school calculus teacher ran it. The guy had some amazing stuff for a teacher (inherited it?), like a sequence of 3 1948 Canadian dollars where the aurora borealis disappeared on the reverse (die polishing or something, it was a long time ago, memory is vague). He also had a first edition of Newton&#039;s Principia, which he brought to class one day and stood the three volumes on his desk. </p><p><br /></p><p>It all started when grandpa passed out his coins to his grandchildren.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
