<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 360223, member: 9474&quot;]I have been wanting to start this thread for a long time, but up until now, I didn&#039;t own a camera and I wanted to be able to post the pics to go along with it.&nbsp; Please forgive me if there is already a similar thread out there - I did a search and came up with nothing.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t remember exactly how old I was, but I was probably around 10-12 years old when my dad gave me this coin and I was forever hooked.&nbsp; Other than knowing it was a Morgan dollar, I knew nothing about the history of this coin or that there was anything special about it.&nbsp; Fast forward 25 years and I am now jumping head first into collecting Morgans.&nbsp; Looking through the Red Book, I read about the 1888O Morgan and the &quot;Hot Lips&quot; variety.&nbsp; So, not thinking anything of it, I pulled it out and WOW - there is was sitting in front of me!&nbsp; My first VAM and I didn&#039;t even know that I had it.&nbsp; Long after my dad is gone, I will always cherish this coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t care what grade it is in - it will always fill that hole in my book.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have always been interested to find out what was everyone&#039;s first coin that got you hooked into the hobby.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
