    I like the idea of 'hiding' some in plain sight at grade schools or handing them out to children. Maybe split some up to those who are willing to give them away themselves.

    I wonder how many youngsters would bother picking them up. The general public doesn't use hard cash anymore. It is a good idea and I would hope that it works. I have a bazillion President and Native American gold dollars. They aren't worth any more than a dollar. I give them as tips and only a few recipients actually know what they are and enjoy them.

    I see an '07 V-nick and a 1918 Buff with decent detail. Culls, maybe, but fun as a lot. The price is right. :)

    A friend of mine has a bucket she puts her change in a lets the children stick their hand in and grab some. I would give those to her to add to the bucket.

  6. My son is young but i finally think old enough to start/appreciate coin collecting because everyday he asks me about coins and really enjoys it. I think back to when i first found a few oldies but goodies cull coins and it started me off on this journey into the coin collecting world. Ive never been in it for the "money" no pun intended but for the thrill and history. I honestly would give these to my son to continue him on his journey! Thanks

    Hey first contest I have played in! I would give some to my little brother who doesn't have very old coins and also I would grab a few of those buffaloes to put in my coin folder because I haven't found one or gotten one yet.

    Okay, I’m a sucker for helping kids fill their albums. I was once a (relatively) young lad who had someone help me and a few others in our club do the very same thing. His generosity really made coin collecting a possibility for me. I’m shooting you a PM.

    Edit: congrats to @SchwaVB57 ! There will be more giveaways down the road, when things settle down for me.

    Good on you, Brandon. I'll put a CLOSED sign in the title, but won't lock this down until we hear from @SchwaVB57 that the goodies are received.

    Thank you @Seattlite66. I will take them to the meeting in September and give them to the kids. They will enjoy anything they get.

    The package arrived today. Thank you again Brandon for allowing the junior members of the Shelby County Coin Club (SCCC) to add free coins to grow their collection. I am sure the Liberty Nickels, Buffalo Nickels, and Lincoln Cents will make their eyes light up at the meeting on September 12. I will try to get a few pictures of them looking over the pile of coins and post them. Thanks again, and good luck on your move.

    Glad they made it. :) Please make sure you have permission to share the photos! I personally don’t like my kids’ faces being posted online. And now that I’m done being a wet blanket, I hope at least a couple of coins can fill holes. I hope to do some more giveaways in the near future.
