Just Plain Old Bragging

I managed to turn my grandson into a coin crazed lunatic. Now he has turned my great grandson (his nephew) into a mini coin junkie. He has saved his money and bought his first Peace dollar and a little toy locking safe to keep it in….. Totally reminds me of myself fifty years ago…. Sorry for bragging. I couldn’t help myself.

No apologies needed and every right to be brag and be proud. Nice coin he acquired there.

 

That is awesome!

 

Great story. Thanks for keeping the hobby going.

 

It ain't bragging if its true.

 

Great start! Make sure he doesn't find an eraser, toothpaste, or some Ajax to "shine it up" like we did when we were kids

 

I thought I was a brilliant somebody when I found that a pencil eraser would make and old cent bright and shiny. I apologize to anyone that ended up with my eraser cents as a kid.

 

Will great-grandpa be a source of funding for these future collections?

 

Of course. They live halfway across the country from me. I have a very good relationship with a very nice lady that runs a first class coin shop close to their home and I set them up with a little coin shopping spree just this afternoon at that lady’s shop.

 

Vote Randy for Grandpa of the year!!

 

Let me think about that for a minute. Kidding Randy, get out there and spoil them.

 

@Randy Abercrombie I have a 17 month old daughter in need of a coin grandpa if you’re interested…

I know you’re enjoying being able to introduce them to new and fun things!! Keep up the great and important work!

 

I love when my grandbabies sit next to me show me their folders. I usually fill them but they tell which one they wish for next

 

I brag about that as well @Randy Abercrombie.

 

That's great! The more collectors the merrier!

 

Yeah! Little CoinTalker's. LOL.

 

Yes, I discovered that coin cleaning method when I was in the 9th grade, I think. Fortunately i abandoned that method of “preservation” very quickly.

 

The grandfather part leaves me out, but other than that, I am a good guy that always supports the youngster interested in the hobby. Amazing how many youngsters are smart as hell. These are not the Beany Baby/Barbie collecting generation.

They definitely want somebody to show them the money. Cash or it didn't happen seems to be the mantra.
