<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephen2, post: 213609, member: 8480&quot;]If this is in the wrong forum, my apologies and please move. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a coin collector, but i am interested in buying uncommon coins for a specific purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>My family (Wife, I and 2 kids) started a new hobby called geocaching. I see that it has been discussed on these forums a couple times. If you dont know what it is you can look here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/faq/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.geocaching.com/faq/" rel="nofollow">http://www.geocaching.com/faq/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(I am not here to drum up support for geocaching.)</p><p><br /></p><p>We all enjoy the outdoors and the kids enjoy getting little trinkets and things at the different caches. Different people leave different things. You can leave things purchased at a store or things that are different and interesting. (My kids enjoy their arrowheads that they got at one.) </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole point of this is i am interested in buying coins that have little value that are interesting. For a child even pennies are interesting, but coins that are older or from another country- how neat?!</p><p><br /></p><p>When i was younger i collected stamps for a few years. I remember going to a stamp shop and buying a little bag of stamps for very little money, but they were interesting to me.&nbsp; I thought the same thing might be able to happen with coins. Although i understand used stamps probably have less value than money. (I think?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway- my question is does anyone have any recomendations for a place or company where coins could be purchased for little that would be interesting to children? </p><p><br /></p><p>For instance- i found this on eBay:</p><p><a href="http://stores.ebay.com/The-World-Coin-Store_1-2-lbs-Unsearched-Lots_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ18QQftidZ2QQtZkm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stores.ebay.com/The-World-Coin-Store_1-2-lbs-Unsearched-Lots_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ18QQftidZ2QQtZkm" rel="nofollow">http://stores.ebay.com/The-World-Coin-Store_1-2-lbs-Unsearched-Lots_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ18QQftidZ2QQtZkm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Seems like a reasonable price range. Would it be beneficial to go to a local coin shop? What would you suggest? Thank you for any help. I hope this is an acceptable place to post this series of questions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Stephen2</p><p>Akron, OH[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
