<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 758853, member: 16060&quot;]My son had never shown any interest in coin collecting, but wanted to go to the FUN Show in Orlando last January.&nbsp; He was eleven at the time, and to say he was impressed by how big it was is an understatement.&nbsp; He also got to meet a few Coin Talkers at the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>We came back home, and told me he would like to start coin collecting.&nbsp; We agreed on Memorial Cents and Jefferson Nickels from roll searching.&nbsp; I ordered him a couple of coin folders, and we got started.&nbsp; We had a lot of fun doing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>He then said he wanted to advance and we discussed it off and on over a few days or so.&nbsp; After talking about it we agreed on doing a 20th Century set.&nbsp; We looked at all the different albums with the Whitman being the most complete.&nbsp; We&#039;re still working on it, getting close to being completed.&nbsp; A lot of the coins I already had, so the cost has been kept down.&nbsp; Also before we place a coin in the album he has to go online and print at least two articles on that coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy it for him because if someone is dicussing a Barber or if he sees a Standing Liberty he knows what at least they are talking about and has certainly increased his recognition of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Raider and Dready (CoinTalkers) also helped him out by each giving him a coin for his birthday back in June.&nbsp; Some very great people here, and my son really likes to go to coin shows.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure as he grows up coins will be sidelined for awhile, but I hope he will return to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also my little girl is starting to show quite an interest at times.&nbsp; This is due to her having a set of state quarters from circulation.&nbsp; Younger ones appear to like the fact each coin is different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
