Similiar story here John. Back before the run up in silver I used to collect coins and actually started when I was a kid. When I was about 13 years old I opened a bank account and one of the tellers was a freind of my mothers. I would take my four or five dollars to the teller and she would let me sort thru all of the old Morgan silver dollars and let me pick out the best ones. Too bad I cashed most in when I was in my foolish twenties.
