<p>[QUOTE=&quot;texmech, post: 1217656, member: 20068&quot;]Yes, mid 60&#039;s is when I first started collecting as well. Just pulled stuff from circulation and bank rolls. Myself and few friends were into coins. My Dad gave me some stuff from his Dad which was the premium stuff. I can remember going to the bank or store and getting a roll of dimes or quarters and pulling the silver (pre 64) ones out. Also finding Wheaties was pretty easy. My grandmother who was working at the time would give us silver dollars she would pull from the cash register at the department store she worked at. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I got older and went to school all the coins went into by coin box and I basically left them alone for close to 30 years. Well recently I decided to get back into the hobby. It&#039;s amazing how bad I mistreated the coins back then. Lots of finger prints, etc. Fortunately I kept some of the good stuff in flips. Lately I have been replacing/upgrading&nbsp; all the coins with better condition coins. It&#039;s ironic. I keep all of the sets in Intercepts and have a coin inventory program. So when I buy a coin I record the date and where I bought it. The coins in my sets with no date or store location are obviously from my childhood. It&#039;s kind of sad, but most of the coins in my albums are from what I have recently bought. I almost could have started over two years ago when I got back in, to get where I am presently at, but me doing this as a kid is what always stayed in my blood. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also have some Red books from the 60&#039;s. It kills me to see those prices. It&#039;s all relative though. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I had the disposable income I now have back when I was 10 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
