[QUOTE="smullen, post: 222141, member: 5165"]Mine was a combination of things... I've always had an interest in coin collecting as far back as I can remember, but never knew Coin shops, Coin magazines or websites related existed... I never thought to look... I assumed that all collecting was done thought just getting lucky and finding coins in circulation... Which is part of the fun, I'll admit... Second, I've always had a thing for (shiney stuff) Gold and Silver... One day a few years ago, something really peaked my interest and looking at sites that had Silver bullion, I started seeing more about Morgans and old Silver coins (the sparks are starting).... Then the whole "State Quarter" thing sparked a bit of interest... Then enjoying on several occasions spending several hours with my daughter sorting though wheaties and Foreign coins, bought in bulk... We really enjoyed it and still do it every so often... I spike the lot she is going to sort with a few canadians I find here and there... By this time my interest is really growing, I'm at the book store looking at book, searching Ebay, looking at sites, reading the phone book trying to find some nice local coin store, etc.. etc... Then I find this place... Its Over!!!! I love it...[/QUOTE]
