<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 8367147, member: 102022&quot;]My grandmother was the catalyst to my lifelong coin collecting obsession. I was about 7-8 years old in 1966 and she first gave me a Sucrets tin filled with IHC&#039;s. It seemed grandma had individual Sucrets tins designated to store buffalo nickels, mercury dimes, Roosevelt silver dimes, Washington silver quarters, etc. Looking back I wish her storage containers were much bigger <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Unfortunately we weren&#039;t from much in the way of family riches. Our wealth came from the interactions, caring and compassion we got from our demonstrative grandma. I owe my passion for the hobby to her.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m doing my best to pass the same passion down to my grandkids. Only one of them is old enough to understand what I&#039;m trying to impart on him. He&#039;s six now. The other two grands are only 2 y/o and 18 months. They&#039;ll get their turn in due time. The six y/o has taken to the collecting somewhat. I&#039;m hopeful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Great thread, fun stories and the spanning of many decades keeps the stories engaging.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
