<p>[QUOTE="mmissinglink, post: 1834641, member: 47293"]Lower end or inexpensive doesn't mean junk, garbage coins at all and doesn't mean that I want to encourage bad numismatic habits. On the contrary, I am looking to encourage good habits with the young collectors. It's actually silly, in my view, to suggest that just because a coin is less expensive / less valuable that it should be treated as if it were worthless. I am looking to put into these holders uncirculated or AU coins such as Peace, Eisenhower, S.B. Anthony, and Presidential dollars and Kennedy half dollars just to name a few examples that I have ready to insert and create labels for.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not of the mindset to give coins (as gifts to young people as a way to encourage an enthusiasm for the hobby) that are very worn or of little value because I also want the young potential collectors to understand that coin collecting is more than just accumulating a pile of featureless, useless, round metal things. The potential value is just as exciting in my belief. I will encourage the young collectors to not only learn about the history behind the coins, but I will give them a price guide so they can get a sense of the tangible value that coin collecting can have. Let them dream a little...you know what I mean?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
