[QUOTE="frankjg, post: 3372137, member: 17567"]I started collecting 30ish years ago when I was a teenager. My Grandfather gave me a couple of Whitman Lincoln and Indian Head Cent folders (missing key dates of course) and it was off to the races. My parents would take me to the LCS on Friday’s where I’d pick up worn Cents to fill in the holes. We even had local coin shows back in the 80s (nothing now). I still have all of those coins, as imperfect as they are, and I will never get rid of them. Life has a way of distracting you and when I came back to the hobby, in earnest a few years ago, I went to the dark side and now focus on ancients. Every once in a while I’ll fill a Lincoln, IHC, or type hole but most of my time and money is spent on ancients.[/QUOTE]
