<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 25223436, member: 102022&quot;]I feel like my entrance to the hobby story is getting very old. I&#039;ve told it numerous times before. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was 7 y/o back in &#039;66. My grandmother had an old beaded change purse filled with pre &#039;64 Washington quarters. She also had a few of the old tin Sucrets cough drop boxes filled with Indian head cents, buffalo nickels, and pre &#039;64 Roosevelt dimes. The IHC&#039;s and buff nicks were the most intriguing since they were the old style coins. The Washington&#039;s and Roosie&#039;s were the same style, save for the composition, so those weren&#039;t as &#039;groovy&#039; or &#039;neat&#039;, at that time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Grandma must have seen my excitement because she gave me the IHC&#039;S. I was hooked. Grandma didn&#039;t give me all her coins at once, but she did disperse them all to me over time. None of her other grandkids received any of her coins. They were all given to her first born grand. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The seed was planted and the journey has been lifelong. Thank you, grandma. &lt;3[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
