<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8216344, member: 97383&quot;]When I was 9 or 10 years old I walked into a local hobby shop &amp; spotted a selection of Whitman Blue Coin Folders for a variety of U.S. coins. I bought the Lincoln Cent folder for 35 cents &amp; began that way. Mom was a bank teller &amp; started bringing me rolls of pennies to go through a couple of times a week. It took me a year to fill up the folder but for 4 of the key dates <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Then I graduated to Buffalo &amp; Jefferson nickels. Dad was impressed with my progress &amp; took me to a local coin show where he bought me a near mint state denarius of Septimius Severus for $15 &amp; an American 1873 $2.50 gold coin, in AU condition for $30 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. It snowballed from there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
