<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 2342269, member: 53226"]I was born in 1973 (42 as of 2-8-16) nearly 10 years after the last boomer was born and I've been collecting since I was a young kid in the '70s. I've always been partial to wheat pennies and I've saved every one I could find plus every pre-1960 nickel because they're easy to find in circulation. I have always saved bicentennial quarters just because they're common and a neat coin. I've moved to collecting slabbed coins along with coins that aren't found in circulation. I wasn't very interested in collecting coins other than looking through my change until I started working at a gas station. That piqued my interest and even though I don't work there anymore I haven't lost my passion for coins. I enjoy buying boxes of coins and searching for treasure and I always look in the reject bin, on top of the machine, and underneath the machine when I walk by a Coinstar machine. My main interest is pre-1965 US coins and later proofs and special coins, but I also have some foreign coins in my collection including some of the lovely coins from Switzerland. I found some pretty amazing coins in circulation working at that store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
