<p>[QUOTE=&quot;glaciermi, post: 88936, member: 4097&quot;]Sitting with family and coins and I think I see a spark of the salesman in my eight year old nephew.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For the past 5 years i&#039;ve been giving each of my nieces and nephews a proof year date American Eagle for Christmas. (It&#039;s a very nice gift for what $35 buys now).&nbsp; Unfortunately I can usually count on a big sluggish &quot;Thank you Uncle John...&lt;yawn&gt;&quot;, but i&#039;m not changing my ways.&nbsp; Someday they will appreciate it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Usually i&#039;m walking around after the gift ripping picking up certificates of authenticity.. etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well yesterday, my sisters son, who is 8, Eric, comes up to me while i&#039;m rummaging through my &quot;junk coins box&quot; and starts looking at everything all wide eyed.&nbsp; Naturally i&#039;m egging him on, and an hour later i&#039;ve given him a morgan, 3 indian head pennies, a couple buffalo nickels etc, and we are both pigs in mud.&nbsp; Anyway this Christmas I will be giving my new protege a special xmas gift, a complete 38-present circulated nickel collection I&#039;m going to make up for him.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I ask you... am I gullible or what? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
