<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rushmore, post: 2934425, member: 17011&quot;]That was my problem as a teenager.&nbsp; My funds and transportation were limited then.&nbsp; I&#039;m 41 about to turn 42 in a couple of months.&nbsp; I started &quot;collecting&quot; when I was nine but it was coins pulled out of circulation like Bicentennial quarters and wheat cents.&nbsp; I did get some coin gifts in my growing up years-SBA dollar at a Sunday School function, clad half dollar from my 5th grade teacher, 1921s wheatie from another teacher.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until I was a Jr in high school when I went to my first coin show in my hometown and the only funds I had was birthday money and doing farm work for my dad.&nbsp; I got serious about coins in college when I had a part time job.&nbsp; There is no social life at all community colleges <span style="font-size: 16px">so beer money became coin money.&nbsp; This was in the mid 90s so internet was in its infancy but I would stop occasionally at a coin shop near the restaurant I worked at and buy something when my budget allowed.&nbsp; Nowadays I buy the majority of my coins off the net and a local shop.&nbsp; I would love to go to more shows but only get to 1 or 2 a year due to few shows in NE South Dakota.&nbsp; I usually have to drive at least two hours to a show.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
