<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 137238, member: 4552"]It all depends on the kids age, interests, monitary availability and lots of other things. If, for instance, the kid wants to put the coins in an album, most Mercury Dime Albums have slots for the 16D, 21, 21D, 42/41, 42D/41, 45 Micro S. These as well as a few others, 31D, are becoming costly and not exactly something you will find in a pile of Merc Dimes at a coin show. You've got to remember that there are several million coin collectors out there and many of the Merc Dimes have mintages in only a million or so. </p><p>My suggestion is Roosevelt Dimes of Jefferson Nickels. Nice thing about them is you could go to a bank and buy a bag of them and give the kid a real time consuming project looking through them. Then just return the unused ones to another bank. I do this all the time. I've filled several Whiman Albums of Jefferson Nickels and Roosevelt Dimes just doing that over the years. Also, you may want to get him a few books on coins so he will learn to look for error coins also. </p><p>I would suggest the new quarters but I hate them and they are the only coin I do not collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
