<p>[QUOTE=&quot;costello, post: 1578064, member: 42025&quot;]1.&nbsp; 1964 quarter.&nbsp; It&#039;s the first coin in my grandfather&#039;s set that really caught my eye.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s cleaned or not, but it&#039;s pristine.&nbsp; </p><p>2.&nbsp; 1776-1976 S uncirculated quarter.&nbsp; It&#039;s the first single coin I&#039;ve ever purchased on my own.&nbsp; </p><p>3.&nbsp; 2012 Silver American Eagle.&nbsp; I love the obverse.&nbsp; There isn&#039;t a mint mark, I&#039;m not sure if it matters, but I consider this a coin.</p><p>4.&nbsp; 2012 Acadia circulated quarter.&nbsp; It&#039;s the first ATB quarter I&#039;ve ever seen because I hadn&#039;t paid attention.&nbsp; So this really jumpstarted me into enjoying collecting.&nbsp; Plus, this past summer my family and I spent our first big vacation in Acadia.</p><p>5.&nbsp; 2012 Hawaii circulated quarter.&nbsp; I loved the thrill of the chase, looking for this one.&nbsp; Plus my son loves volcanoes.&nbsp; </p><p>6.&nbsp; Andrew Jackson circulated dollar.&nbsp; It was the last of the set.&nbsp; Now I&#039;ll be looking to complete Ps and Ds for 2007-2011 presidents (the rest will be collected in uncirculated mint sets, so no big deal finding those).</p><p>7.&nbsp; Utah state quarter.&nbsp; The last of the states needed to complete the collection.&nbsp; Again, the thrill of the chase.&nbsp; Now we&#039;re looking for Ps and Ds.</p><p>8. 1918-2008 Canadian quarter. A completely unexpected find.&nbsp; My son loves the design.&nbsp; I love that my son fawns over it. </p><p>9. 2012 glow-in-the-dark dinosaur quarter from the Royal Canadian Mint.&nbsp; I love the idea, it&#039;s a beautiful design.&nbsp; I&#039;m a little disappointed that it isn&#039;t as shiny as the other coins I have, but it&#039;s the make up of the quarter, so it really isn&#039;t a big deal.&nbsp; I can&#039;t wait to collect the remaining three in the set.</p><p>10. Mercury dimes.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a specific one that I enjoy, but I do like to look at them.&nbsp; I have quite a few in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these coins are really turning me into a collector.&nbsp; I have my 2013 wishlist on another thread. Perhaps I&#039;ll add it here.&nbsp; I&#039;m excited.&nbsp; Perhaps in 2 years (depending on what&#039;s released in 2014) I&#039;ll start purchasing older coins.&nbsp; I&#039;m still new, researching, and figuring out what I like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
