<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 55355, member: 1873"]I already have my two in coin collecting. I think the youngest will stick with it for a lifetime. When you take the time to seek out those little ones who have that "collecting mentality" as I call it you are also teaching them things through the years that they are not even aware of. The importance of saving and like it or not when you put a coin away in a collection you are saving! And, in a sense, when they get older and their collecting habits change to more desirable coins you are then showing them an investment side of things when they start making their own decisions. Do you buy the one high grade Morgan dollar or those 4 low grade Morgan dollars? Do you mint sets, clad proof sets or the silver proof sets? What will the childs priorities be in his/her collecting habits? There is so much more being quietly taught in this hobby when it comes to children and I have every intention of passing the "bug" on to every child I can and for a lot of different reasons, even if it just saving some for a rainy day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
