<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1345480, member: 19855&quot;]Well, I remember going over to Grandma&#039;s and Grandpa&#039;s. Grandpa would usually end his day with roll searching. He sort of taught me to be his second pair of eyes with me and Grandma&#039;s fried chicken and cookies at his side. After a year or so I asked why he only did pennies and he said it was because he really liked the smell and feel of them and that he can find almost anything with a dollar or two to the bank. I was fascinated and started my own set...though quickly quit as spending 2-3 dollars of my 5 dollar allowance wasn&#039;t cutting it. A couple years later Grandpa is still roll searching for those delicate few left in his album and I bring up the subject about starting a dime set. I think part of him died that day he bought me a dime folder. I think another part of him died when I asked to go to a coin shop to fill in the missing holes. Then I decided to upgrade to MS Roosies and that was my first set. One day I&#039;ll trade up to all FTs but it still has the nostalgic value of being the &quot;first complete set.&quot; After that I wanted something with a little more wear on it so I went for circulated Mercs, upgrading along the way. Then I got a little burnt out on small coins and decided to go big...Frankies. Finally, I thought it would be a nice tribute to my grandfather to do as much of a Lincoln set as possible in MS 64 or better so whenever I get sick of seeing silver, I jut over to the dark chocolate and red coppers for a bit. That&#039;s me in a nutshell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
