<p>[QUOTE=&quot;debordj, post: 1035008, member: 23344&quot;]I was looking also to start something for my boys when I started collecting 1 year ago.&nbsp; Got a lot of great advice here from the forum like you are getting.</p><p>- learn before you buy</p><p>- buy NGC or PCGS</p><p>- start a collection, not an accumulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I ended up starting full birth year sets for my sons in NGC graded slabs.&nbsp; I went for PF70 in the proofs and MS67 or better in the business strike coins.&nbsp; It has gotten a little expensive and some of the nickles, frankly, I won&#039;t be able to afford in that grade for 2002 and 2004 - my son&#039;s birth years.&nbsp; I think PF69 and MS65 for 2001 coins wouldn&#039;t cost very much compared to other stuff.&nbsp; May not appreciate over time, but i am sure you son&#039;s will love it some day when they are theirs.&nbsp; My sons love when a new coin comes and they look to see if it is a 2002 or a 2004.&nbsp; Lots of fun for us.&nbsp; I only have some nickels and a few of the commemoratives to get...and both of the MS70 ASEs are VERY hard to find for those years.&nbsp; But I have time.&nbsp; Dream alot about some day being able to buy the gold and platinum coins for those years and giving them to them when they are in their 30s or 40s when I know they will be less inclined to sell them...maybe even getting them back into the hobby if they dropped it growing up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember - lots of great advisors on this site.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
