<p>[QUOTE="Rushmore, post: 3280028, member: 17011"]I've been collecting coins since 1985 when I was 9. However since I had no allowance coins were hard to come by. My dad gave me some Canadian coins l left over from a trip and I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Between the ages of 9 and 18 if I acquired anything it was Bicentennial quarters, Wheaties, more Canadian coins, and SBA dollars out of circulation, going through my parents change jars or were gifted to me. My 8th grade Language Arts teacher gave me a 1921-S Cent from a contest where we got a penny per point. Fast forward 29 years later I still get a thrill finding a wheat cent in change. I still love US coins but I now collect foreign as well as they are cheaper and I have a lot of the US series completed. I don't look for investment coins but if I end up making a profit great! Happy collecting!.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
