<p>[QUOTE="Lather, post: 789865, member: 20404"]I started at 39 Years old.. Never even thought about coins. Always collected stuff..Scooters.. Guitars.. But never coins.. I started getting ASE for silver only.. then some junk coins.. Then someone gave me a whole box of coins.. ( Oh God I don't want to say this ) in The box he wanted me to sell for him were several full sets.. PLEASE NOTE.. I didn't know much at the time.. BUT SOLD A 1909sVDB, 1914D, And a Complete set of Washington quarters.. I made him all the money he wanted so he said I could keep the rest.. And I was off... Now I have several complete sets .. BUT NOT THAT 1909sVDB.. I Kick myself all the time for selling it and not buying it myself.. he would have given it to me for 100.00.. I DIDN'T KNOW!! AAAGGGGEEEE!! It started me off so I shouldn't complain.. But geeezzzee The stupid things we do when we first start out.. I know we all do them but boy I did a whopper as my first mistake.. </p><p>I love the coins now.. So much that I am thinking of selling the ASE's I have just to get the Vintage Coins I want.. Its not about the silver..now it ALL about the Coins. History.. Art. AND those dang holes in my collection that now haunt me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
