<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3978948, member: 106826"]Sure, a step process perhaps. I can agree with that. My children haven't caught the 'bug' so while I build/stow away coins for them to have once I'm gone, I do what I can to cultivate a new generation of collectors through coworkers and their children where/when possible. Especially for the 'hoarders', it's always possible to give away 'spenders' and the like to folks to create interest and discussions. While I haven't given my son coins to pass out to his friends, it wouldn't be anything I wouldn't consider. In fact, I have given my hoard to youngsters to pick through to build their own albums/folders of Jefferson/Lincoln series. I already have folders of these coins and tubes of the very best, so there isn't anything in these buckets that I'm worried about losing or giving away. Even if the interest is fleeting, it is something that they can hold onto for another time where perhaps their interest is rekindled. There are a great many collectors here who walked away from the hobby for decades and later returned. It'll happen for others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
