    Ten years ago I gave my grandson an old worn half slick Morgan. I remember that year I gave a Morgan to all my grandkids, nieces and nephews…… Well the bug hit my grandson and now he is a full blown coin-o-holic and makes his grandad proud so I had to show a little bit of his collection to the community…… So keep planting those seeds. You never know when one will take root.

    Way to go Randy! I hope that I plant that seed with my kids. I think the first 2 are sprouting nicely.
    What a great bunch of gold, too! Jealous!

    And I didn’t give him gold until today. I brought him a slightly bent gold dollar with an interesting story….. But he has bought all that himself with his minimal earnings.

    Randy, what an encouraging post to read. Not only are you bonding with a grandchild, but you're providing continuing life for our hobby. I couldn't get my daughters interested in numismatics, but I have hopes for the grandchildren.

    You're blessed.

    I really, really wish I could show my grandparents some of the coins I have now. They did a lot to encourage my interest in the hobby fifty-odd years ago. It was a very long fuse, but it never quite went out.

    When grandpa tells good stuff about a grandkid it isn't bragging, it's expected and necessary. Tell us all you like. I think grandkids are special.

    Here is my 4-year-old great grandson. He thought this little girl needed a little attention and appreciation.
