<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonMike, post: 177541, member: 7251&quot;]Was around 14 years old. Found a bag of foriegn coins my grandfather had. Inside was a penny with a different back (wheat cent). I though it was odd but put the bag in my dresser for the next 10 or so years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Around 23, found the bag again, was looking through it. Found the penny but didn&#039;t look at the backside. Went to read the date but it was in poor light so i thought it said 1989. I put it on my dresser intending on tossing it in my coin jar and spending it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Next day i took a look again and noticed the date said 1909! I looked at the back and saw it was a wheat cent! A little closer investigation and it was a 1909 VDB (no S)</p><p><br /></p><p>That got me started. I later found out my grandfather was a big collector and found several of his bags of silver coins and envelopes of paper money from the 20&#039;s to &#039;50&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of my collection is due to him, but i&#039;m starting to build on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
