Message:: [QUOTE="NathansCoin, post: 177430, member: 6761"]First let me say DO NOT USE Littleton Coin Company. lol OK It was 1981 or 82. I was around 6 or 7. I was digging out a fort, in the dirt on my back yard. ( For my GIJOE's.) I lived in a building that was built in the late 1800's. Anyhow about 10 inchs down, I dug up a Indian head Nickel. I didnt know anything at all at the time, but my mom said she noticed it was a 3 legged buffalo. I thought as a child, cool its freak, lol. I didnt really start collecting untill i was about 10 years old. But the first coins i had started from the ones i had fond around that building. I remember having found a cuople of pre 1964/dimes and a few wheaties. My seccond first big coin finding was whe i was 10 just before i bought my first coins. I had come across a bunch of WWII Nazi german money and a THICK roll of pre Nazi DutchMarks, I ask my frandfarther about them (being a little war buff at the ripe old age of 10). Then said Grampa can i have these. He looked at me and said. Only if you keep them safe. That was it for me. I was off and running. I dont even want to get ito all that i went through to make my first buys. But i will say this. I pretty much did EVERYthing you can think of to make money to by money.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Edit to add.
