ANOTHER FUNNY STORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD

When I first started collecting coins, My Dad and I found this neat coin shop in Annandale, VA. Every Thursday night, they had an auction there, and it was nothing for us to blow a bunch of money each week. The funny thing was, the people that ran the place thought that Dad was the collector. Actually, back then he couldnt tell one coin from another. Most of the people that participated in the auctions were older, more experienced collectors. So imagine their surprise when you got a 9 or 10 year old kid gathering in their huddles and getting in on the converstaions, and talking about coin stuff that a kid my age had no business even knowing about! You shoulda seen the looks on those guys' faces. HEHE
