<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubade21, post: 1828209, member: 44104&quot;]Like a lot of collectors, my father got me into collecting when I was young. I remember working my tail off for a couple of weeks mowing lawns, raking leaves, and washing cars for anybody on the block that would throw a dollar or two my way. All of this so I could have a few dollars to spend at a coin show we would drive and hour to attend. While at the show, I would dig through the bargain bins to find coins marked 1/2 off or otherwise deeply discounted. </p><p>My first coin that I remember buying for myself was when I was 7 or 8 years old. It was a large cent that was in a half price bin (originally marked at $7) and I &quot;talked down&quot; the dealer (as I watched my father do 100&#039;s of times) to $3. I was swelling with pride after that show. </p><p>Funny, after reading this thread, I started thinking about that coin and wishing I still had it. It would definitely be one I wouldn&#039;t part with. </p><p>Good memories...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
