<p>[QUOTE=&quot;playin4funami, post: 758725, member: 21976&quot;]Here&#039;s how I started my son, A decent magnifying glass 3 bucks for a 5x,a series two and three lincoln cent coin folders,and a big bag of pennies from the bank, once he had gotten those filled up and we worked on upgrading the coins together then moved on to modern nickles,he&#039;s getting pretty good at searching bank rolls for upgrades for coins he already has and loves it. Just start out with circulation type coins that are easy to come up with,later on he/she will want to upgrade to higher money,better coins. Take them to coin shops,shows,etc. Make it fun x5 you know a day out with dad or whoever seeing a coin show and having lunch together and answering as many questions as you can,If you don&#039;t already have coin media like the red book,or other coin books with good knowledge then make those among your first purchases. Once that seed is planted it will grow on its own given the proper roots(knowledge) and fertilizer(coins and time spent with a loved one). Before you know it they will be hauling you around to shows and lunch. Also remember it might not be the kids favorite activity right now but don&#039;t force it on them just have their stuff available and ready if they give it up for awhile,they&#039;ll come back when they want to.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; My children don&#039;t all collect coins,I have four and the oldest two are girls,they have zero interest in coin collecting,but I still have their starter sets put away in case they ever want them.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; My other two are boys, the older one took to collecting like a duck to water,once his feet got wet he turned into a coin collecting fool and don&#039;t even mention a show or coin sale because he&#039;ll remind and ask about it every single day,the younger son is sometimes interested in coin collecting sometimes he&#039;ll be in there sorting and having a ball,sometimes he&#039;d rather play or do something different,thats okay with me,he&#039;ll get the addiction sooner or later. </p><p>&nbsp; Start simple and make it fun,and spend some time helping them with it and enjoying it together, something that doesn&#039;t really get me wound up might be a real treasure to them,so If they are excited and happy I get excited and happy with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
