[QUOTE="Rono, post: 208188, member: 6492"]Howdy, Easy. Our 3rd grade teacher started us all collecting pennies. 1 a year - go to the bank, etc. Back then (I'm 58) you could still occasionally find an indian sort of like you can find a wheatie today. I quickly got into this and got my whitman albums and progressed to dates. Found a 22 plain but like many this had just a hint of a D if you looked at it closely under the right light. No problem, I used my boy scout knife to scatch it clean. er, is this enough of a war story? ;-) Now, I do have to tell about getting a 21D walker in change on my paper route ~VG-F. Cool. Took it to the coin show and sold it for $50 and bought my first pair of skis (head's). Hey, I collected penny's and nickels and dimes and didn't really collect halves. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
