BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 12:54 pm Actually my Grandmother with Lincoln cents got me started when I was pre-teen in age. It wasn't until many years later in the early 70's I started saving silver Kennedy's and Halves bought at the banks and in circulation that I really got back into collecting. It has blossomed from there. I'm now a full fledged coin junkie. Report this Post to the Staff
Stacker82 Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:08 pm When Gold was around $450 an ounce, my Dad said Brandon, if you're smart you'd be investing in gold, it's gonna just keep going up. I believe I was 23, I was like "ok Dad... suuuuure". Well he unfortunately killed himself and left me with some money... I started investing in gold and silver. Report this Post to the Staff

I must've been 7! I think it's something you're just born with, and either you get introduced to it, or you don't. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:23 pm My dad was out walking one night and a drunk veteran asked my dad for some real money for beer in exchange for some wheaties. There were probably 50 wheaties. My dad gave him 3 dollars for the wheaties and my dad gave them to me. I was not into coin collecting at the time but those coins are what got me collecting. Funny thinking back on it. Report this Post to the Staff
