<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 625866, member: 9167&quot;]A bit of back history on where I got my start:&nbsp;&nbsp; In the 40&#039;s my great uncle was an avid collector but got into some financial trouble when his business failed. His brother (my grandfather) bailed him out, and as collateral on a loan my grandfather never wanted paid back, he gave him his coin collection. He never would take it back until he paid off his debt, which never happened before his death. My grandparents, because they now had a fairly large collection, actually got interested in collecting coins, and added to it over the years. Then, when I was about 9 or 10 they gave me a complete set of silver Roosevelt dimes and an almost complete set of Lincolns for Christmas. That&#039;s when I got hooked. They gave me a little bit of the collection every year until eventually I had aquired almost all of it, minus a few Morgans they gave to other grandkids along the way. So, there&#039;s a substantial portion of my collection that has a lot of sentimental value above any monetary value.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
