<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1314581, member: 26302"]OP, lots of good answers, especially warning you about not buying. I know you have the best intentions, but saying "someone is a coin collector, what should I buy him?" is pretty much identical to saying, "someone wears clothes, what should I buy him?". There is way to little information to go on. Of the answers presented, I like either an ANA membership or possibly a 2011 silver eagle or a loupe. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, if you had a teensie little bit more info it would really help. I think most here are assuming he collects US coins, but many collect world or ancient coins. Even within US coin, there are so many specialties as to make buying a coin he would like difficult. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish to go with an ANA membership I would call them up and make sure he isn't a life member already. That would be a waste of money. Even if he is a member you can add a year onto his membership.
