[QUOTE="onecenter, post: 1827162, member: 8703"]A few weeks back, I went looking for and retrieved the 1852 Liberty Seated dime my father received in his bakery's cash register more than 40 years ago. It sits on the dresser and I see it every day. It was the oldest coin I received from circulation until I obtained an 1834 Bust dime about 10 years ago. Before I really began to collect coins at age 9, I received from my mother, either a 90% silver or 40% silver clad Kennedy half dollar for every baby tooth loss. Never spent the coins. I still have these coins from the days when the half dollar still circulated in the mid-1960s. They have been augmented with many more from circulation. Both parents passed away three years ago.[/QUOTE]
