<p>[QUOTE="Zzyzzyth, post: 793305, member: 21495"]I started coin collecting many, many years ago as a kid. I had (at the time) a decent little collection. I was really getting into it, and had no clue what was involved in coin collecting. I thought the object of the game was to just find a decent one and seal it with my thumbprint into a Whitman. At one point, I remember finding a Lincoln that was about half off-center and thinking "Yuk!, I don't want this in my collection", and couldn't spend it fast enough. Anyway, we went on vacation one week and when we got back we had been robbed, and you guessed it, my coins were gone. That really took the wind out of my sail and I just didn't have the heart to start over. NONE of ANY of our belongings were recovered, much less the coins. It was always in the back of my mind and just recently I have decided to take it back up. There is so much more to collecting than I thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
