<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pbryan, post: 695377, member: 10722&quot;]Personally, I think the modern coins and coin sets are perfect for annual gifts.&nbsp; Whichever you choose (proof sets, ASE&#039;s, AGE&#039;s, etc...) they have the year on them so they aren&#039;t necessarily getting the exact same thing over and over.&nbsp; Over the years they will accumulate a set, and it could drive interest in filling in the older dates or starting to collect other coin series.&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps, In the future they will go back to their dated coins and think &quot;2009, My dad gave me this when i was only XX years old!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally wouldn&#039;t think getting the same 1 gram bar (which is very tiny, BTW) over and over wouldn&#039;t be that much fun.&nbsp; But then, I suppose getting the same ASE with a different date on wouldn&#039;t appeal to some as well...</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I wouldn&#039;t shell out the extra $$ for slabbed coins either...&nbsp; The mint packaged ones are cheaper and well protected.&nbsp; They also come tend to come with reasonably attractive packaging and a card with some info about the coin.&nbsp; You can even sign up for a subscription from the mint web site, and they&#039;ll send you the coins/sets each year without you having to remember to order them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>--Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
