[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 4784259, member: 100720"]Hi all. It's been a while since I've posted. I've been very busy since the Covid situation started and all the repercussions to work, home, relatives, etc. This is a really interesting thread. I have 4 nephews in whom I sparked an interest in coin collecting. As of today they range in ages from 8 to 17. Their parents are happy that I got them into something that is a "good obsession" as they call it. I also use our conversations about coins to teach them some history without their realizing that they're getting a history lesson :cool:. They've each shown off their coin collection to their friends which tells me that they're really into it. I also just recently (in the past year) got the 12 y.o. son of a good friend interested in coin collecting. He keeps calling me with questions he has. It's such a good feeling to know that I sparked an interest in this kid and that I can help teach him things. Unlike the OP, I'm middle age but haven't been collecting my whole life and don't have a large collection. I also don't have the money to consistently buy more coins and supplies than I already have for all 5 of the kids, even though I would love to spend loads of money on them. And because of the Covid situation I have to be really careful right now with my spending until I know that my job is secure. So if you would like to donate coins to 5 kids who have an interest in coin collecting, I would be happy to give them your coins, slowly, so that they can appreciate each one. You can be sure that the coins would have a good home with them![/QUOTE]
