<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Fonz, post: 3234801, member: 98799&quot;]I&#039;ve always been interested in history and old things for as long as I can remember.&nbsp; Sometime around 1990 or 91 when I was 11 or 12 years old, I was with my mother at a flea market and this guy was selling some coins at a table.&nbsp; I took a look, and this 1900 Indian Head cent caught my interest for some reason.&nbsp; I think it was a dollar something, so I bought it.&nbsp; I think the year 1900 caught my attention because it was the year my grandfather was born (he passed before I was born). Anyway, I just remember thinking, &quot;Who could have spent this? Where had this coin been? Could it have been in someone&#039;s pocket during some great historical event?&quot;&nbsp; I knew that I would never know those answers, but it still intrigued me. For a kid with just allowance money, collecting coins became a good (and economical) way to connect with the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
