[QUOTE="Log Potato, post: 2304050, member: 26787"]It's never too late, you can always ask for next year. Since this is half thread, I thought I would share a story here. A guy at work approached me a few weeks ago. He said he had heard that I may know a few things about coins. I told him, yes, I know a bit about them. He proceeded to tell me that his son (young teenager) had recently expressed interest in coins. He asked my advice on what he should buy his son for Christmas that was coin related. I suggested a Redbook. Fast forward to this week, I approached this coworker. I handed him a VG10 raw 11-S half and David Lawrence's book on Barber half dollars. I told him his son must report to me the mintage of that particular coin and the location it was minted at, and that he could keep both as a gift. ( I have a few copies of that book ) Hopefully I created a new Barber half collector, but at the very least, hopefully I passed on the hobby to a younger generation. Enjoy your Barbers everyone![/QUOTE]
