<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 1427430, member: 29452"]When I started actively collecting again in 2010 I was told by many family members and a few friends I was wasting my money. The only one who seemed excited about it was my grandfather. He pulled out his collection one day and we went through it for several hours. He got all his coins for face value back in the day from the bank. At least he had the foresight to keep some of those silver coins. However little by little over the last couple of years my father and brother have slowly come around to the idea. Now they check their change and call me whenever they think they've got something. Dad ended up buying the Star Spangled Banner proof coin and I THINK the gold version as well. Mom ended up giving me an 1876 Half Dollar that she had. But it's times like finding a proof coin in circulation at the gas station that the cashier's look at you like you're nuts. I can't wait until my daughter is a little bit older, hopefully I'll pass the coin bug onto her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
