<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 94713, member: 3011"]There were a few thing that interested me. First, as a kid I became aware that there were quite a few Canadian pennies and nickels around [but this no longer seems to be the case], so I started saving them and asked my parents to save them for me. Also, my uncle had a fairly extensive collection of 18th and 19th century US coinage. My grandfather had a small collection of Morgan dollars. And about the same time all of this was happening, the US stopped making silver coinage. So there was a fair amount of "coin activity" going on around me.</p><p><br /></p><p>About two years ago, my interest was re-kindled when I became aware of what a screaming bargain silver was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
