<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 137192, member: 5233&quot;]My joining the hobby was fairly simple.&nbsp; I was always someone who liked to collect things growing up (original it was football cards).&nbsp; One day, when I was probably 12 or 13, I was helping my father clean out his gun safe.&nbsp; On one of the shelves in the back was a stack of blue books, they turned out to be old Whitman coin books.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was looking through them, not too seriously, I just thought they were interesting.&nbsp; I picked up the Lincoln Cents 1941-1974 book and remember thinking the 1943 cents were really cool - I had never seen them before.&nbsp; I asked my dad about them and he told me why there were zinc coated steel and how he had collected them when he was in high school and then for a little while after he was in the Army.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, not long later, I bought a set of Whitman Lincoln cent books and began to fill them up.&nbsp; I think it was a combination of my interest in the 1943 cents and the fact that it was something in common with my father thay got me hooked on coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
