[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1214457, member: 26729"]My golden years started about 1980... I remember buying my first ounce of silver around that time for almost 20 bux! It was a fortune to me at the time, but I just had to see what all the hub-bub was about. I kept pennies in a jar, then a jug, and later it became a bucket. About 2 years ago I started going through them and seeing all the red from the 70s, and the great toning the have attained. I had a hodge podge of stuff when I was a kid. My grandfather started me, and pushed me to classic US coins. However, I had the urge to bring home all sorts of 'crazy' stuff. He would cringe when I added currency to my little hoard. He thought that old silver certificate was only good for spending. He didn't understand why I didn't use it to buy more coins.[/QUOTE]
