Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 09/09/2015 5:16 pm Like most people who have traveled abroad I accumulated coins from various countries as I grew up. You could say that was how I got started. In 2011 I started taking it seriously and began buying coins specifically for a collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Musang New Member Indonesia 8 Posts	Posted 10/13/2015 11:40 am I started my coin collection without any thought about collecting, just bumping into lots of thousand old coins. Have a money to spend and bought it. I forget about the coins for many years until the seller ask about the coins condition. I check out the coins and learn something that spark my interest me. Somehow I feel addicted with it and want to know more and more about the history and the coins. I think its became a hobby, never regreted with the lots I bought. Report this Post to the Staff
capsnhawks Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 07:56 am My dad always took me with him to the coin shop on Fridays when he got off work. He got me hooked on coins at a very young age and he still collects, buys, and sells to this day. He will be 82 years old on Halloween. I also remember being impressed with a bracelet of Swedish coins that my grandmother brought back from a trip to visit family there in 1959. I inherited that coin bracelet and enjoy the fond memories associated with it. Report this Post to the Staff
