bumma Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 08:06 am I ended up with a portion of my fathers collection. The Whitman folders had holes that were not filled and my OCD kicked in... I knew he was into collecting but as a kid I never paid much attention to it. Wish now that I had. Report this Post to the Staff
CENTertainment Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 11:53 pm Very similar to most, I guess. My dad once showed me the Whitman book he had for early Lincolns and a small canister of odds and ends. I was in awe of the history behind each one. I still wonder about the journey some of these things take. Report this Post to the Staff
garys64wildcat Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 11:24 am I got my interest in coin collecting back in the early 50`s and I had a paper route in rural Iowa and collected alot of change and one of my customers would go through and buy all my change and she got me interested in coins. I managed to collect almost complete sets of most. I started going through rolls from the banks. I got 1937d 3 leg, 31s cents, 08s IH plus others. Good way for a kid to save money. This Easter one of my grandsons (11yrs old) came down. And likes coins. So I gave him a set of lincolns missing 10-12 keys. plus a bunch of odd coins. It made me feel so good to see the look on his face when I gave him those coins. We sat for several hours just looking and talking coins and what to look for. Im close to 70 and I am glad to have someone that appreciates the hobby that I could leave my collection to. Report this Post to the Staff
