<p>[QUOTE="sgt23, post: 2140013, member: 73878"]My first coins were given to me by a former step-dad. He didn't tell me a lot about them so I spent them. He was pretty upset about it, but we all make mistake at first. But the first coins I ever purchased was from a pawn shop in 1993 with $10 I got for allowance. I remember buying a bunch of common wheats, an IHC, a few silver dime mercs and Roosevelt's and I think a buffalo nickel and a V nickel. My mom also bought me a Redbook a couple of weeks later. I mostly just accumulated coins and didn't learn much about them up until 2000. Then I sold my whole collection and start over later that year. I've been a serious collector ever since then. Although I guess I've been interested in coins for over 22 years now. I'm kind of surprised I survived that first pawn shop visit and still collecting after he refused to show me any of the more valuable coins behind the counter because he thought I would buy any.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
