<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 317069, member: 2100&quot;]I would like to recommend a Civil War token as a possibility. Prices for most have doubled or more in the past year, and I suspect values will continue to rapidly climb as the 150th anniversary approaches, so the investment aspect holds good promise for some time to come. These would offer the added option of a variety of topics that she may be interested in. Kanzinger lists over 400 specific topics for Civil War token issues, many with a graphic depiction of what they sell. There are many topics of interest that regular coinage can not touch. Just to mention a short list that may hold some appeal for a young lass : artist, bakers, books, candles, shoes, clothing, fairs, fireworks (OK, that one appeals to me), fishing, hats, horses, ice cream, jewellry, music, painting, skating, soda water, toys, trains, etc. etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is also a possibility that a token could have been issued with her last name on it, which I think is kinda special (my avatar is such an example for me, and was issued by a relative during the Civil War - R9 - 2 to 4 known, lists for $100 in unc). The majority of cwt varietiess are true rarities, most with single or double digit known populations, yet many nice and even uncirculated examples can be easily purchased with the funds Elizabeth has available. Another nice thing is that &quot;problems&quot; are really not much of a problem. Even poorly holed cwts have considerable demand due to their scarcity and on average are valued about 15% less than a problem free example. I would be glad to assist you with providing any additional information or advice if this would have any interest to her. </p><p><br /></p><p>Much good (and varied) advice has been given, and I also agree that it should be something that appeals to her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
