<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3697916, member: 78244&quot;]The approach to YNs must also be different. Young folks are more engaged and interested when they learn how the coins fit into an interesting area of history. When I talk to my young peers about the difference between an S-103 and S-104 1796 large cents, their eyes glaze over. Sure, they perk up when I tell them that the difference means hundreds or thousands of dollars, but otherwise they don’t care. However, when I show them my collection of medieval coins from each city I visited in Europe and tell them the history of the city and context of the coin, they are fascinated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed the same thing at shows. If you ever get to meet Tom Wood at a show, watch his table. He will capture the interest of many YNs by telling the story of each coin they look at, regardless of whether or not they are going to buy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
