Ya I remember when I was little I had a box of some special coins from family, some birth year coins, eisenhower dollars and some halves, no silver but still special. I would save up my coins in my piggy bank and then when it became just more than I could lift I would empty it out and go through them and roll them up. Haven't rolled up coins in a real long time because of the coin machines but I would still go through my pocket change and look for coins like bicentennials and wheat pennies.
Getting a job as a cashier made me more interested in coins again and made me look back at the coins I had and I was talking to my dad about it. Apparantly he was into coin hunting with his dad when he was a kid. After a couple minutes of looking in the basement he found a bunch of coin books with all kinds of coins, indian heads, wheats, a couple buffalo nickels, mercs, silver dimes, standing liberty quarters and silver quarters. It was an impressive collection. Its amazing seeing coins that have lasted all these years. Really looking foward to making a collection of my own and sharing it with whatever future family I may have
