[QUOTE="Snail, post: 35160, member: 2089"]Hey everyone,I recently came into a fair amount of coins from my father passing and have found myself,for reason unbeknownest to me,really getting into coins. I am just wondering what made some of you guys start collecting coins at the high levels. Was it art,money or maybe a bit of both? I think i'm just looking for a reason my heart starts pumping when I find a copper wheat penny and check the date for 1943. :) That was my first encounter with coins btw.My dad seemed to have loved the 1943 penny and has 50+ of them.They looked funny,so I decided to read up on the 43 penny and found out they were worth tons,but as I read farther,I saw the part that said "only the copper pennies". But ever since then,my heart races when I find an old coin and really can't explain it heh. It's been over 2 weeks since then and it's only gotten worse. :)[/QUOTE]
