I turned 42 today. I’ve been seriously collecting coins for half my life now.

I started at 10 but got really involved at 21. I think 42 still qualifies as a YN in this board? Hopefully?

Please post a Morgan or something ending in 80 or 42!

Time to take a break, 42 years of seriously collecting can take a toll on you. - just kidding! KEEP GOING

Just wait until you start pushing 90%. I started at 6 and stayed active through those younger years.

Great thing is you never stop learning. Keep it up and best of luck

Thanks everyone! @joeykoins, that’s a nicely pronounced DDR
@robec I love the color and luster on that 42-D!
@crazyhounddog - that Walker is a blazer
@coastaljerseyguy, I knew you’d have a nice Morgan to show
@1630Boston - great pair of frosty examples
@ifthevamzarockin - the split between the 1 and 2 on that overdate is amazing
@ShaunBC5 - very flashy! I have a couple of 80-S Morgans in 65PL as well.
@pursuitofliberty - nice, original, and clean Washy!

Happy Birthday @david3142 . Here’s three denominations for you (the dollar is MS68, and like the other two, also has a CAC) All three are special, just like your special post!

I have nothing '80 or '42 to post, but I also started around 10-11 (now in my mid-50s). Wasnt a real serious collector, just a little at a time, year after year. It really kicked in with the 1976 proof silver coins, that kicked off my interest in proof precious metals. Got on board the proof eagle train. A few years ago I decided to jump into the deep end of grading and cataloged what I accumulated, and then realized what I got. Had a few surprises I forgot about over the years.
Rock on! And keep on collectin'!
