[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 90721, member: 3011"]I would never expect a relative to somehow figure out what sort of coin to buy because it's too complicated [If I can barely do it for myself, what chance do they have?]. So this year I already tried to make it easy for them. I said I want an uncirculated silver eagle or canadian maple leaf one ounce silver coin from any year, obtainable in any coin shop, and don't spend more than about $10-$12 per coin. It keeps them from getting completely ripped off, makes it easy for them to find, and is nice enough that I genuinely will want to keep it even if I don't need it. One step up from that in complexity would be any silver dollar commemorative from the US Mint. I'm not sure how collectible they really are, but they make nice "giftware." ...but I still expect to get shirts.[/QUOTE]
