How it started!
Many many moons ago...... ok..... let me try something different....
It was a dark and stormy night....... NAW.... that doesn't work......
OK..... this just out of Brooklyn..... nope..... that's not me.....
My parents kind of started me into coin collecting.... yea I know LOL
MY parents were the typical "Nuclear Family" raised parents. They didn't want me to be smothered and wanted to make me understand what money was all about. They did in a way that I didn't know I would be collecting.
They would give me "new minted" coins on my birthday..... rolls mostly..... but like any other kid.... I spent them...... but I would keep one to remind me what my Parents wanted me to do you could say. Some coins I still have today.... never been touched. Half dollars and Eisenhower Dollars were the thing..... My Benny and Kennedy 1/2 dollars, a 1921 Morgan and Bicentennial Eisenhower were part of my collection.
It wouldn't be till I'm 35 years old to see the light. Coins I was growing up with were becoming scarce and worth more than they were...... to collectors of course.
Over the years (especially the last 5) I've built up a collection of raw coins that I started sending them in to be rated at NGC in 2019. Latest batch were mostly of British Virgin Island $1 coins with a Rwanda gold coin. The next batch should finish the BVI set and be full of Kennedy effigy coins from around the world.
