<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3253806, member: 99642&quot;]I just started seriously collecting in 2010.Do you remember the recession of 2008-2010?</p><p>Until 2008 I was a highly paid land surveyor. Laid off in 2008, I didn&#039;t find another job until 2010, and even then it was just a minimum wage cashier in a retail store, BUT access to the money in the register allowed me to start finding wheats and the occasional Indian head and war nickel.</p><p>That is when and how my serious coin collecting started.</p><p><br /></p><p>That $55 # comes from the Red book but I think we all know no one ever buys or sells at the book price.</p><p>I&#039;ve never sold a coin anyway. Never tried and don&#039;t think I ever will.&nbsp; I just hope I can get my children interested in coins enough to learn how to evaluate them so that when I&#039;m gone and they liquidate my &quot;estate&quot; (lol) they don&#039;t get taken to the cleaners and sell them for pennies on the dollar. No pun intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
