<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7385516, member: 105098"]No idea really what my first coin was that got me started, but I am sure it was actually hand me down Whitman folders that kicked it off for me from my Aunt, she had a bunch of them, she gave them to me stripped out and empty. I was like 7 at the time I started, maybe a little younger, it had to have been a wheat cent though, as those were the easiest to come by for a 7 year old, searching piggy banks and grandma's coin jar and stuff in like 1980 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I'd really have to go through everything I have and see if anything strikes me with a memory of it being with me from so long ago. I don't think I can identify a particular coin, but no doubt at all the folders are what got me started. Been circulation hunting ever since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
