[QUOTE="FHDave, post: 222089, member: 7359"]I started collecting when I had a paper route as a kid. Occasionally someone would pay me with some old coin and I would put it away. I actually had someone pay me with a Pilgrim Tercentenary as a 50 cent piece. It obviously had been in circulation (it is probably about a Fine condition) before I received it. I also have my only Barber Quarter and Walking Liberty Half from that time as well. In addition to this, my grandfather had a collection of Indian Head cents that I believe he extracted from general circulation. Put that all together and it planted a seed that stayed deep and not active until the late 90s. What caused me to get active? The State Quarters program and being older and actually having a little bit of free money to use for this addiction. Now, I'm hopelessly addicted to this hobby. And I do NOT want to be cured. :thumb: :ohya:[/QUOTE]
