<p>[QUOTE=&quot;josh&#039;s coins, post: 2006049, member: 51487&quot;]On my 10th Birthday my father gave me the Mercury dime pictured below. He told me that my Grandfather had found the coin in pocket change in the 1950s and that my Grandfather gave him the Mercury Dime when he turned 10 back in 1973. This was the very first coin that I received that I really enjoyed, before this coin I had a few mint and proof sets that my Godfather bought me but I didn&#039;t really care for them all that much. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin that started it all.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]360264[/ATTACH] </p><p>This one was quite difficult to photograph. The fields of the coin are mostly gray. the top right of the obverse being a bit darker. On the reverse there is red yellow/Gold and a little bit of purple on the leaves. Along with an interesting crack going down the left side of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So this is the coin that really gave me the motivation to collect coins and I&#039;ve stuck with it ever since. what coin got you into collecting? post them below![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
