<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2463557, member: 77704"]I always found history/geography/zoology/astronomy extremely interesting. My Grandfather back in Germany actually got me into these, before I entered grade one. My first hobby was stamps, my fav. were ones produced from 1840-1965. Then my Dad got me into coins, back then I had little $ to spend, so I stuck to Canadian 1 cent thru Silver Dollars. Once, I finished high school and got a "job" working for a lawncare company, I started to spend my money on gold coins, my first acquisition was a 1969 Biafra 5 piece Proof Set from Valcambi Mint, it cost me $1100.00 so I had to work 4 weeks to buy it. Then fully trained, I started working for myself in lawncare, working long hrs/ now I got to know NFA and started bidding in their auctions/ then with Stacks/ so on. During this time I also built up a spectacular butterfly/moth collection (which I am now selling to buy more neat coins.) At present I just get my coins thru sixbid site, bidding on stuff from CNG/Kunker/Hess-Divo/Sincona/Rauch/Baldwins etc. I also collect US/Canada obsolete banknotes....</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
