<p>[QUOTE="Moen1305, post: 1055636, member: 2544"]If you want to interest your children in coin collecting,it is all in how you do it. Don't blame them if you haven't sparked their interest. They have a hundred things more interesting than coin collecting these days, what did you have, a ball and a stick? </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my trick. I have 3 boys, 2 years apart. For Christmas each year, I have bought them proof/mint sets. My oldest has 16 sets, the next oldest has 14 sets, and the youngest has 12 sets. When they turn 18 I am done buying them their annual sets. They will either continue to buy the sets or they won't. The ones that do will share the coin collection which currently takes a lift truck to move. Albums, rolls, silver/gold commems and bullion, mint sets, proof sets, and the whole thing is multigenerational going back to their great grandfather. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don't really care if the one(s) that end up with it sell it or not, just as long as they don't get ripped off in the process. I hope that they invest in something that brings them wealth. I think that they already have enough knowledge to avoid being ripped off. The fun for me is the collecting, I don't care what happens after I'm gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
