<p>[QUOTE=&quot;looksbothways, post: 182965, member: 7420&quot;]My daughter, who&#039;s 10, has always been a bit of a collector. She&#039;s got a bag of rocks, a box of &quot;glass&quot; she&#039;s found outside, a box of old jewelry, and a box of coins. She can talk for hours about where she found something, what makes it interesting, or why she chose to keep it. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the acquisition of my boyfriend&#039;s uncle&#039;s coin collection, she&#039;s really got the itch to start collecting coins in earnest, especially the state quarters (she already has some, and the collection we inherited came with some of the older ones she was missing) She had a blast helping me search through the lincoln pennies and organize them by year and mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I ordered her a few coin folders from Whitman, plain penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and then the 100 slot state quarter folder (holds one from each mint for each state) I figured that might get her started in organizing/sorting/storing what she already has, as well as help give her something to &quot;complete&quot; like a full book.</p><p><br /></p><p>But where do we go from here? Aside from the obvious searching pocket change, should we buy rolls from the bank every now and then just to see what we get? Is there any value in buying coin lots from places like Ebay? Is there somewhere else we could buy/get lots of coins on the cheap? I&#039;m not interested in spending loads of money, and she wants to collect because it&#039;s fun and interesting, not so much as an investment. She turned her nose up at the mercury dimes but fell in love with the walking liberty half dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice is appreciated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
