[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 654050, member: 4552"]Don't know if there are any in your area but you might want to check Google for coin shows in your area. And if you live near a state line, try the other state also. Just go to take him to a coin show. Another thing is to check out the Walmart Web site for books. They usually sell for a lot less than almost anyone on the internet. If your son is into computers also try [url]www.coppercoins.com[/url] And the person that has that web site has two books out on just Lincoln Cents and you can usually buy coins and books there also. Not sure if you have any flea markets in your area but around here there are always coin dealers at our flea markets and no where on Earth can prices be better than what I've found at flea markets and garage/yard/estate sales. I guess lots of people start with those Steel Cents. One dealer at a local flea market told me he sells lots and lots of them every week. Usually he wants $0.25 for almost Uncirc ones.
