[QUOTE="sunflower, post: 920979, member: 23219"]The folder will impress the kids someday. A few dimes might be one of the best items you could pass on to your family someday - for example on a special birthday. Coin collecting is a special hobby. It should be passed on. I have a little neighbor that is big on coin collecting. His parent's had not realized how much he was into it either. For an 11 year old I was pretty impressed with his understanding of history as it's tied to a few of his coins. (mostly pocket change, but the kid has a lot of pride to admire). I gifted him a blue book when he moved back to town fulltime again. The little fellow was real appreciative. He really went wild over a 1960's proof nickel. I only paid .50 cents for it, but it went over like a $50.00 bill. So about your junk question. By all means. I like the dimes, (Barbers and Mercury best). I have mostly Wash. quarters since that was where I was able to get the best price and availability at the time of purchase.
