<p>[QUOTE="manny9655, post: 4801264, member: 112417"]That would be true of me, too. I guess I started when I got an IHC in change from the ice cream man when I was a kid and had to ask my Dad what it was. And I remember all the SLQs and silver Washingtons my mom used to give me for lunch money. Mercs and Walkers were still circulating in the early 1960s as well. One other thing that got me interested was when they got rid of the silver in 1965. I was 10 years old then. But I was far more into stamp collecting than coins. I got rid of my silver when I was out of work and needed cash around 1979-80 when silver had hit a peak, and didn't pursue it again until recently. Now I like to collect Franklin halves, not only because of the silver content, but also because it's a coin that I remember. I just recently completed a circulated collection of them. Now I'll gradually improve on the condition those coins are in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
