<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cherrypicker, post: 119817, member: 3734&quot;]About twice a week two girls (one&#039;s two and other&#039;s 5) come over to my house to give their parents a break.&nbsp; Whenever the older one comes first thing out of her mouth is...&quot;got any new candy, Bill?&quot;&nbsp; And after our trip to the candy dish she always wants to see my coins.&nbsp; She points to a coin and says it&#039;s a nickel, or dime, or quarter (whatever the size is)...sometimes she&#039;s right, but other times she&#039;s not.&nbsp; It&#039;s kinda hard explaining to her that 100 years ago they had half cents and three cent pieces.&nbsp; But she likes looking at them and holding them. She always likes the shiny coins.&nbsp; Showed her a proof set and she was so surprised- &quot;I can see myself, Bill.&nbsp; Here, look at it, look at yourself.....&quot;&nbsp; Every now and then I&#039;ll get her a SBA or a Kennedy, something she doesn&#039;t see every day so she can brag to her friends about it.&nbsp; </p><p>Is she a coin collector now---maybe a little.&nbsp; I think she definately has some numismatic blood in her.&nbsp; Do I think that she&#039;ll ever be a serious coin collector? Maybe, maybe not.&nbsp; But I know that she enjoys it now ...and she probably won&#039;t remember it 5 years from now,&nbsp; but she always has a smile when I open the up my coin book.&nbsp; Just because you don&#039;t see YNs at coin shows doesn&#039;t mean they don&#039;t don&#039;t exist.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never been to a coin show.&nbsp; I think the future of the hobby is looking as strong as ever and am looking forward to being a part of it-&nbsp; Bill---14 years[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
