<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 539556, member: 17665&quot;]I was &quot;bitten&quot; at age twelve in 1966. my grandma gave me an uncirculated 1923 Peace dollar for mowing her lawn for several weeks. I was amazed at the beauty of thecoin and it&#039;s size also. I asked if she had any more and she brought out a promotional plastic bank issued by the First Agricultural Bank that was nearly full of silver coins, Buffalo nickels, W.L. halves,etc. I earned and recieved every coin in that bank eventually and spent every friday afternoon at the same bank asking tellers for rolls that I went through and culled the best from. Sadly I started at the tail end of the pull from circulation of the silver coins but being a small town ( Gt. Barrington,Ma.) silver coins stayed around for some time and probably thru 1968. In that time I was able to aquire quite a few coins in my initial folders. This is one of those stories that the younger generations hate to hear about us boomers, but what a fun time it was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
