<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 571652, member: 16060&quot;]I collect coins that I have all intentions they will go to my sons.&nbsp; But, I collect what I like and they hopefully will like what I collected for them.&nbsp; I do this thinking they will improve on the sets they were given or expand the collection into a generational family collection.&nbsp; All the time I realize they very well may sell the collection.&nbsp; That is okay too since I&#039;ll be gone and it won&#039;t matter to me.&nbsp; The only rule is if my wife is around when I&#039;m not, is to not turn the collection over to them until they are old enough (mature enough) to realize what they have and make a good decision.&nbsp; After the state quarters were started we moved on to the American Silver Eagles which I am happy with the decision. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am attempting to have for them some type of every circulating coin by denomination ( cent, nickel, dime, etc.). I also want to cover three centuries of American Coinage (19th, 20th, and 21st) with every decade of the 3 centuries represented even if it includes some type of small type set(s). At the same time I also will probably collect commemerative silver dollars that I like. I&#039;m only four decades short now, but will close that gap in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is it is my collection right now so I collect what I like and want that I can afford. I think if they will be interested in coins they will like and appreciate what I have assembled for them. Someone asked me at work recently how many coins have I collected. I never thought of it as individual coins, only sets. I thought about it for a few minutes trying to count it up in my head, and to my surprise it is several hundred coins, and didn&#039;t have to spend a fortune to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
