<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NathansCoin, post: 165309, member: 6761&quot;]My love of coins started when I was around 5 or 6. I was playing in the back yard of the place I lived as a child and unearthed a dark brown dirty 3 legged Buffalo Nickel. At the time I knew nothing but ones my mother said that&#039;s worth money I felt like e little treasure hunter and from there of a started looking at every bit of money that came into my hands. I still have a few of those first coin and paper moneys I got. By age 10 I was buying gijoes and coins. lol I would do anything to make money. In spring and summer time I would go to the local teenage drinking spots and clean up all there cans and bottles, as well my step dad was a drunk so id work him for a buck ever time he asked me to go grab him a beer.&nbsp; I would walk all around my town collecting cans and bottles to get the funding I needed to make my first investments. In the winter I would shovel out cars in the parking lot of my building and drive ways around where I lived. I actually did very well for my self. I recall that I saved just over 600 bucks between cans and snow shoveling around age 12. I also recall thinking then that this is a lot of money but its not going to really be worth anything if I didn&#039;t do something with it. So the guys at my local coin shop knew me well. It was Named crystal coin. I remember looking in there cases at the gold coins all certified by ANA I believe ad thinking geesh I will never have even one of those. Today I have more then a hundred gold pieces in my collection but it did take me many many years to get here.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess&nbsp; coin collecting made sense to me because I was so poor growing up that saving every penny really ment saving every penny. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Coin collecting to me has always ment more to then just investing in my future. But I honestly remember that my future was one of the main reasons I started.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
