<p>[QUOTE="Steve E, post: 44080, member: 2147"]Great topic! We happened to be at the mall one weekend and it just so happened there was a collectibles show going on. As everyone does, we walked the halls looking over all the antiques, crafts, baseball cards, diecast, etc. Absolutely no intentions of buying ANYTHING. That was until I walked up to my first ever coin dealer. We looked over all the nice bright shiny silver and gold layed out in front of us, and I thought "what a neat thing to collect". That was all it took, the seed was planted and the fever began to intensify! Not knowing anything about coins by 1st purchase was made entirely on eye appeal and what caught my eye was that nice AU 1921 Morgan Dollar. I was so proud. I thought I had just bought one of the rarest of coins, it was old and better yet it was a Morgan!!!! Could never figure out why it was so cheap, man, I sure got a bargain! </p><p><br /></p><p>Now when I look back at it I must admit that it is one of the nicest "Cleaned" F/VF examples I own! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
