What's up with all the stamps? I collected stamps but was much more of a coin collector and then sports cards. None of my relatives ever accidently sent me an upside down plane on a birthday card envelope but i kept looking anyway. To this day, I still have the habit of looking at my change for a 1955 double-die. Whatever that is worth, I thought it a fortune when I was 9 years old. I bought the new price guides every year and looked for the most expensive coins and always kept an eye out.
My father was responsible for keeping a Coke machine stocked and he let me look through the change and buy anything I wanted. Lots of wheat pennies, a few mercury dimes and buffalo nickels, a Franklin 50 cent piece and once even a standing liberty quarter. At the time, I figured some kids must have been raiding their dad's coin collections.
