<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2029981, member: 15445&quot;]I will echo some of the ideas already posted in this thread.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A.</p><p>Speak to his coin dealer &amp; possibly discover the one coin he has long wanted.&nbsp; Make certain that there is a refund/exchange policy with the dealer after Christmas.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>B.</p><p>Consider signing him up for the ANA membership which could include the magazine &quot;The Numismatist&quot; delivered monthly.&nbsp; If he is already an ANA member, consider buying the study at home diploma course from the ANA.&nbsp; If he is a good student, then he could achieve the diploma (hopefully with high honors).&nbsp; When he has an ANA diploma on the wall I guaranty he will smile every time he sees it for years to come.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>C.</p><p>Books are a great idea IMO.&nbsp; If he doesn&#039;t already have Breen&#039; complete encyclopedia, then consider getting him one.&nbsp; (I&#039;m assuming he is interested in US coins).&nbsp; If I knew more about his collecting interests, then I could suggest more books.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit to add: If he is a member of this forum, then he may not be too surprised on Christmas morning. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I see now that he is interested in toned coins &amp; error coins.&nbsp; If he does not yet have the Error Coin Encyclopedia, then you could possibly get a signed copy from Fred Weinberger (<a href="http://www.fredweinberg.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fredweinberg.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fredweinberg.com/</a>).&nbsp; It is only about $40 but Fred has many good error coins from which to choose.&nbsp; Perhaps Fred also has gift certificates available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
