<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexasTwister, post: 1563123, member: 37455&quot;]Thinking back to when I was a kid, with virtually no money to spend other than my (very) small allowance, I found it easier to put together current issues in Whitman folders.&nbsp; I built some pretty nice sets from pocket change and enjoyed the &quot;thrill of the hunt&quot;.&nbsp; I&#039;d guess that your daughter is more into the collecting part of our hobby rather than the investing part (which is a rather mature concept).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is more important at this point to nurture the inquisitive, seeking, &quot;fun&quot; part of collecting before bogging her down with melt values, price trends, etc.&nbsp; Heck, I&#039;ve been collecting over 40 years and have pretty much figured out that investing in coins (stocks, and everything else) is a hit and miss proposition. With that in mind, I can think of nothing more DISCOURAGING than collecting coins from an investment standpoint, only to see that the coins selected weren&#039;t the right ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I think that Prime Mover hit the nail on the head when he mentioned taking her to a coin shop to see what she is drawn to.&nbsp; Then she will develop the passion for collecting that makes it all worthwhile.&nbsp; Have you ever heard of a passionate coin investor?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two (wheat) cents![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
