<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thecointrader, post: 1481990, member: 6477&quot;]The &#039;standard model&#039; for creating a coin collector is to seed their interest at an early age, then they lose interest in the teenage years, only to return to the hobby in their thirties as discretionary income becomes available, and hopefully become advanced collectors in later decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to &#039;seed&#039; collections for young people, giving away Buffalo Nickels and Indian cents -- along with the requisite candy, of course -- for Halloween. I&#039;ve also left Kennedy Half Dollars and Ike Dollars as tip money for young waitresses, and a few have mentioned that their children have begun modest collections with these. </p><p><br /></p><p>Local coin clubs need to have activities for young people, and coins need to be integrated into other activities for children. Going sailing with your nephews on the bay? Give them each a circulated Columbus Commemorative Half Dollar as a souvenier of the day, and perhaps you&#039;ll help create a new collector some day. </p><p><br /></p><p>-thecointrader[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
