<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 423745, member: 5036"]Both my father and Grandfather had "collections" of coins, by which I mean 1 box of assorted coins packed away. My gradfather's collection consisted of a donzen morgans some rolls of silver quarters, dimes, wheat cents, etc. Not much. Neither one was an active collector, but when they got me interested. WOW, I was struck and knew I would collect for the rest of my life. With my kids, I tried to get both of them interested young. My son and daughter take turns going to the shops with me. I always let them get something there, be it a wheatie, an indian, some foreign, a silver half. They love it. My daughter is a junior member of the Omaha coin club, I don't know if they'll do it for life. But I've given them a foundation and introduced them and included them in something their father loves to do, and it lets us spend time together and in the end that really is the most important part to me anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
