<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silvertip1958, post: 1345894, member: 33115&quot;]I remember getting mercury dimes and buffalo nickels in change when I was a kid. I think if I hadn&#039;t collected baseball cards back then I would have collected those coins. What started my collecting later on was a nickel I got in change at a bank. It had a large P over monticello on the back and I knew it was unusual. I looked it up and found it had silver in it from ww2, that&#039;s where it started. My dad gave me his fathers small collection when he found out I was collecting. I got silver in change and saved it. I bought a metal detector and dug silver, even a peace dollar. With all the clad money I dug with the detector would be saved and cashed in for old silver coins. At one time I had planned to own one of every us coin, but later realized I couldn&#039;t afford it and just bought silver and some gold. I did buy a lot of US coins before I decided I couldn&#039;t get one of all. I have a great collection and it&#039;s still growing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
