My uncles got me collecting coins when I was 4 years old, and a year later when JFK was assassinated, I grabbed all the JFK half dollars I could. That led to a large coin collection which I sold in 1979 for the down payment for our home. My wife and I came across Howard Ruff's "The Ruff Times" investment newsletter about that time, and that led us to an investment club we've belonged to for 40 years. We didn't get a lot of advice from our families, but we've passed on what we learned to our close friends and our kids. Our 4 year old grand-daughter collects coins now.
