<p>[QUOTE="Error66, post: 2130844, member: 74149"]Although I became interested in coin collecting when I saw the first Roman coins that my father dug at Pompeii in the '50's as a volunteer, it was my pious grandfather who truly interested me in.....yep.....wheat backs. He ushered at every Sunday mass and counted the bounty with a scrutinizing eye afterward. He exchanged his own money for buffalos, Indians, wheat backs, and all other interesting bills and coins which would inevitably fall into the parish basket. Now, forty years later, he is gone and I find myself with some 150 wheat backs and a 1992 D and P CAM or two. I am fortunate to learn so very much from the members of this site. I thank you deeply for showing me, a disabled individual, that one may have a fulfilling hobby (if only picking from 5,000 pennies daily as a start) whether one is mobile or not.
