[QUOTE="woodyhenderson, post: 1423175, member: 33122"]I dont think any one coin was how i got started in coin collecting. It started for me at age 7 my first year in grade school as each morning i was given 25 cents by my dad for lunch. Sometimes it was a quarter but not always in the coin form. Sometimes it would be two dimes and a nickle or five nickles. Setting on the bus going to school id look at those coins and thought how great they looked. The mecury dimes and standing liberty 25 cents were my most favorites. Today i still love those two coins but find any coin that is silver to be my main coins to collect. All the coins i have are raw coins i found in change or while metal detecting. I have never cared that much for slab or high graded coins. Maybe i just love a coin that shows it wear and the history it has. As always each to his own and regardless what you collect do it for the hobby and not just for the profit. For me it makes it more fun and i can live knowing i still have coins that maybe are not worth what others have but i do have one anyway. For me thats the most fun and i dont have to be rich or well off to enjoy the hobby iv grown to love.[/QUOTE]
