[QUOTE="Siggi Palma, post: 1098712, member: 18255"]I started coin collecting at the age of 10 but I became a member of the Icelandic numismatic association at the age of 13 " the youngest by far ". The first coin I bought at auction at the club was this coin. And I just couldnt stop looking at it. It felt so old so full of history and the design was just out of this world.

I rember also thinking what are they doing with a ironing board ? I got that explained to me later..... [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/1919.jpg[/IMG] I stopped collecting coins at the age of 15 and began again later in life. I still have the coin and I love it as much as the most expensive or rare coin I have in my collection today. I would love to see the one that started it all for you if you have it still.
