Home U.S. Coin Forum

My son Greg just got a job at the local coin shop. Post a coin for him.

My son has been interested in collecting since he was about 7 or 8 years old and the local B&M has been one of his favorite hang outs for some time now. We went there today looking for Walker halves and he was talking to the owner who I guess was impressed with his knowledge so he offered him a job.

Greg is only 15 so he will need a work permit but that shouldn't be a problem. School lets out tomorrow and he will start on tuesday, if you happen to be in the Atlanta area and have some time, drop in and say hello. Greene's Rare coins, Kathi Rd. Fayetteville Ga. This is him about five years ago and the 1804 half cent is one of his fav coins.

  • GREG-
    I'm starting this coin thing way too late in life!

    (probably will never accumulate a really fine cluster of Walkers, let alone a set. You'll have to pick up the ball!)

    REALLY LIKE Walkers!!
