Finishing high school and getting a lot more interested in coins.

Back then the price guides were a complete mess when it came to truly better date 18th and 19th century silver and gold coinage. It was like getting money for nothing.

15 years old, only 5' 4" tall (topped out at 5' 10" at 18), totally intimidated by the opposite sex (most of whom were taller than me), mutton chops filling in nicely (had plenty of testosterone but it was apparently focused on facial hair and not height), tons of curly blonde hair, Raquel Welch in the bunny fur bikini hanging behind me door (my dad never found it), recently transferred my Lincoln cent and Buffalo nickel collections from the old blue Whitman folders to the ones with sliding plastic covers, working on EVERYTHING back thru Morgans in the old blue Whitmans.

Today it's mostly all gone - the hair exists only in photos, all the Whitmans have been sold or given to YNs, most of my testosterone is focused on promoting hair growth in my nose and ears, Raquel Welch is rolled up in a tube in my closet kept company by several one-sheets (1 Million Years BC, Fathom, Lady in Cement) and my collecting interest have evolved to larger, more easily seen coins!

Cheers,

Best answer yet.

My dad died in an industrial accident 2 weeks before I graduated from college in 1972. I had collected coins since age 6, but was just beginning to get interested in some foreign coins - U.S. coin prices were edging up, and I was getting bored with the 20th century designs that comprised most of my collection. I looked for the 1972-P DD, but never found one.

I was about to turn 1 in Nov '72, so no real regrets about missed deals.
