<p>[QUOTE="boxerchip, post: 625014, member: 19303"]The year before I was born my father bought me an American Eagle Silver dollar(1986). Every year on Christmas there was one at the top of my stocking. I always admired them for their beauty but never was too too interested beyond looking at the coin on Christmas day. When my father passed away I wanted to continue the tradition and my collection so I started buying the eagles every year on my own but again never really thought much about it any other time of the year. About 10 months ago a customer came into my store and paid me with a silver quarter- instantly I felt it was different than a normal quarter. Thus began my obsession with coins. Most of my collection I like to find in half dollars (the banks love me when I drop off like 5k in halves) but I also collect eagles and a few other random coins. Collecting is a ton of fun and a good investment.... I only wish I had been doing it for about 22 years longer. Just found a stone Mountain half not too long ago <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
