<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 281954, member: 6647&quot;]I&#039;m not the kid, but I&#039;m qualified to report for the one I took there.&nbsp; I saw no children on Thurs or Fri but when I walked in Saturday afternoon the place was hopping with ages 6 and up.&nbsp; There was scavenger hunt that at least 30 children took part in (based on how many I saw waiting to find out about their prizes).&nbsp; The Youth Activities Table was packed, there was a &#039;Deal, No Deal&#039; type game for US and non US coins, plenty of state quarters, and free cardboard coin album pages for presidential dollars and state quarters.&nbsp; What I enjoyed about the presidential dollar display was the emphasis on the constitution and assorted trivia of the first four presidents.&nbsp; In fact the only thing I didn&#039;t like was that the prizes included SGS graded Washington quarters (yes, they were all MS-70).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The kid for which I am reporting is too young to type but I can confirm that she made off like a bandit and we came home laden down with new additions to her collection.&nbsp; For variety I took her window shopping at some tables selling other collectibles such as fossils and ancient artifacts, the mammoth teeth and trilobites were big hits.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was encouraged that so many children were so excited and enjoying themselves, and hope that events like this one are helping to create plenty of new ardent hobbyists and history enthusiasts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
