Now you've reminded me of a fond memory Murrey. My dad got me into the numismatic realm when I was a child. I still have a lot of the coins we plucked from the thousands of rolls we exchanged at the bank week after week. I have even more fond memories of our time together.

Howdy Murrey! I use collect coins growing up. My Dad was a banker and would bring home bags of pennies for me to go through. I have such fond memories of evening family time, sitting in our small little den with my Mom and Dad, emptying piles of pennies and going through them as a small kid, yelling out when I'd get a new year or mint. I use to collect pennies, dimes, and nickels. All worn and used, though. Just use to try to get all the years and mints I could, ya know. I later collected some very nice gold coins, a couple of which are Indian Head golds worth quite a bit as far as gold coins go. Got a 1909 VDB but no S-VDB. I have a few rare Indian Head pennies. I forget exactly which ones and I don't have my list with me to check. Glad you had a great holiday with the family! RR
