<p>[QUOTE="dctjr80, post: 789323, member: 15915"]I pretty much started two years ago. I have always liked antique shops, pawn shops and second hand stores and I was in an antique shop near my home when I decided to buy a Morgan Dollar, because I wanted a coin minted exactly 100 years before I was born. Took it home and shined it right up with some toothpaste (wish I knew then, what I know now), thank god it wasn't a key date! But this didn't actually get me started, a few weeks later I was in another antique shop and they have a wooden box on the counter by the register that says World coins 10 cents each or 11 for a Buck. I picked out 11 coins thinking what the heck and went home and learned what I could about them. I would say that the Italian 20 centesimi "Flying Liberty" was probably the coin that really got me started... I have just enjoyed so much seeking out foreign unique coins and studying them and adding to my collection since then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
