<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joesmom, post: 39857, member: 934&quot;]Bobby~</p><p>Check your PMs...I hope I answered some of your questions there&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>As for other collections for kids...hmmmm.&nbsp; Here are my thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Birthyear world bullion...great flash for the cash!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Birthyear sets for family members, kind of a family time capsule I suppose.&nbsp; I like to pick through the dealers&#039; boxes and assemble sets of circulated, but nice, coins.&nbsp; So far I&#039;ve gone as far back as Joe&#039;s great great grandparents.&nbsp; As I complete each set I include an explanation of who they are, intersting stories, etc.&nbsp; For example, his great great grandparents came over from Poland and landed in Ellis island.&nbsp; I&#039;m also including pertinent dates such as the year I met his father and the year we were married.&nbsp; Some day it will be a great big story book of his family and hopefully, something he will treasure not only for the history that it represents, but for the thought and care that went into assembling this for him.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Coins from your ancestors birthplaces.&nbsp; Joe &amp; I are particularly fond of coins from Poland and Ireland.&nbsp; Besides, I think kids in general are drawn to world coinage as the designs are just plain different from what they&#039;re used to...and in many cases more beautiful and imaginative in their designs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>4. How about a type set?&nbsp; Pick up a nice album and begin a US Type set.&nbsp; When your daughter is old enough, she will enjoy looking at the different coins we&#039;ve had throughout history and will eventually be drawn to a particular series or 2.&nbsp; From there you will be able to build a better collection based on her interests and it will be something that you will be able to do together at local shows and shops.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since Joe is very involved in collecting with me, these are just a few ideas off the top of my head.&nbsp; Good luck, but most of all...have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
