<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FHDave, post: 389722, member: 7359&quot;]I got in to coin collecting because of my grandfather and having a paper route in the late 60s.&nbsp; My grandfather had a collection of Indian Head cents that piqued my interest as I had never seen them before.&nbsp; The paper route provided me with old coins that people paid me with.&nbsp; Amazing what people put in circulation, my first commemorative coin is a 1920 Pilgrim Tricentennary half dollar someone paid me with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stopped collecting after high school due to lack of $ and different priorities.&nbsp; The State Quarter Series re-ignited my interest (plus I was in the position to have more available money).</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a preference for larger coins, so I&#039;m more into the dollars and halves.&nbsp; The two exceptions to this is the Dansco 7070 Type Set collection I&#039;m working on and Lincoln cents.&nbsp; I&#039;ve come to appreciate the beauty of the various coin designs through my country&#039;s history.&nbsp; I started to accumulate Lincolns thinking I would take advantage of the anticipated runup in prices for the 2009 anniversary.&nbsp; Now, I can&#039;t pull the trigger and sell the coins.&nbsp; I figure it will give me something to do as I get older and have the free time to look for the various varieties in the Lincolns.&nbsp; My wife just shakes her head at me now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
