no im not stupid enough to clean my coins.... i got those indian heads from my local dealer like that
Welcome to CT! I am also a Young Numismatist. That isn't a bad collection. You oughta join our school: Newbie Institute.
Are you serious that collection is for a twelve year old, all my parents gave me was 20 bucks and told me to spend it wisely, which is why I'm a roll searcher.
I will make a deal with you 12yrold collector. Just send me a PM and with your name and address and I will send you something for your collection. All you have to do is post an image of what I send you. No strings attached...except a time line. See my post #18 RickieB
The fact that 12 year olds are into coin collecting is great! I'm trying to get my kids into collecting (one is 12), but it's been sort of hit and miss. They seem to be more into cards.
I'm thirteen and have been collecting for six years now. I now write my own bi-monthly coin newsletter, I work at local shows, plus I deal and run three of my own businesses.
Although my son(9) has not gotten into collecting I've taken note he's more guarded and careful with his collection of baseball cards as he's watched me handle my own collection of coins, glad he's learning how to appreciate what he's got so far tho.
To make this a better challenge...I posted my response almost 5 hours ago. I will ask 12yroldcollector to PM me within 24hrs of my post. If he does, the prize is sweeter. If he does not Pm me before the 24 hrs have passed then the deal is off. Good luck 12yrold collector, if you know him, give him heads up!! RickieB I forgot to mention that it will be a very nice prize... And here is the prize..... I am a little embarrassed at the moment. I posted the 2003 L 4 digit star note...I have already given this away..whoops.. If PM'd I will ask 12yrold collector what other district he may want. and to make up for my error in posting I will add a nice coin to the prize as well.
Great start on a collection. It's a lot more than I had when I was 12! Keep up the good work and happy collecting.
Not a bad start, btw what happens when you turn 13, gonna make a new account and name it 13yroldcollector?
