<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 2935557, member: 34720&quot;]Hello everyone! Where it is the holiday season, many find the desire to donate something to groups, charities or people in need. </p><p><br /></p><p>Out of the blue, a thought came to me. What if there was a &#039;charity&#039; or &#039;scholarship&#039; type of program for coins? Here is how it plays out in my head.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, the group elects someone (perhaps several people) to be the &#039;keeper&#039; and &#039;organizer&#039; of the donated material.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, a decision (by discussion or vote) is made where the group decides what will be worked on. Perhaps it&#039;s a complete Whitman Lincoln Cent series (not graded). Perhaps it&#039;s a Roosevelt book. What ever it may be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third - Group members can donate what ever coins they would like (perhaps they are just extras) to help complete the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, through discussion, suggestions or voting, the group decides who the worthy recipient of this collection would be. I would think it would be some young collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think it would be a great way for all of us collectors to give back to the community, and encourage young collectors to get into the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think? Am I just being mental?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
