<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhaugh, post: 1624097, member: 36379&quot;]My dad and I would spend hours and hours pouring through cents to fill albums.&nbsp; We did this before I was old enough to properly handle baseball cards.&nbsp; Circulated cents were easier and even though he wasn&#039;t a coin collector, I think he understood and valued the time we spent together working on the hobby.&nbsp; We never finished a book together, and once I was old enough to be trusted with baseball cards the cents fell by the wayside. </p><p>After years of not collecting, I rediscovered our old albums and have been back actively collecting for the past 7 years.&nbsp; Just like it was back in the day filling the old wheat cent albums, it&#039;s the thrill of the hunt.&nbsp; Looking back on what my dad and I did, I will make certain to involve my newborn son in my hobby.&nbsp; I can&#039;t remember a lot of my childhood from the age when we worked on whitman albums, but I will never forget sitting in my bedroom floor with a large metal bowl of wheat cents and the great feeling I would get when we would fill a hole.&nbsp; </p><p>Then there is the story of my most prized coin, my Poppop&#039;s Peace Dollar:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you enjoy the stories as much as I like retelling them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
