Reminiscences of coin collecting

I ran across a blog entry on Philly Bits about an 1852 silver three cent piece that he owns. It’s fun to hear how people got started coin collecting as kids, saving up every nickel and dime they had to spend it all at the coin shop.

He also wrote about a half eagle and a silver roosevelt dime he got in change.

Fun stuff!

He also made reference to GPAnalysis for certified coins, a site I haven’t seen or heard about before. I’ll have to take a look at it.
