<p>[QUOTE="Fall Guy, post: 1345240, member: 35281"]I am 36 and had collected some when I was a kid but nothing special. My brother (who is 11 yrs older) was given some silver mint sets from the 60's and he had a few other coins along with those sets thrown into a small box. He moved overseas after college and I found the coins one day. He had no interest in them and they became mine. That got me started. However, my recent boom of collecting began when I decided to try to collect coins from the year my mother (1940) and my father (1933) were born. I thought the walking liberty halves looked awesome and started collecting the ASE's. Then when searching for coins, I came across some Morgan's silver dollars at reasonable prices. I thought they we're beautiful bought a couple and became hooked. Now I collect almost any silver quarter, half, and dollar I can get my hands on as well as silver mint sets. Have just recently started broadening my horizons to world coins. So pretty much, all of this starting when I picked up a 1933 walker which made me think fondly of my father. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
