<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 177921, member: 5719&quot;]Speaking of the &quot;theme&quot;... our daughter Thalia Elizabeth is mostly interested in coins with Queen Elizabeth II on them.&nbsp; This narrows it down to, well, thousands of coins... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but many of them are quite inexpensive.&nbsp; And she gets a geography lesson besides.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of &quot;uncirculated coins&quot; you can&#039;t &quot;really&quot; get them from a bank.&nbsp; Some will sell you rolls of coins at their actual value- $10 for a roll of quarters which is $10 worth; and if you&#039;re in the right place at the right time you&#039;ll get new ones.&nbsp; But with the demand for State Quarters I&#039;ve been told that many banks have made it more difficult to get these, restricting to one roll or limiting to customers (or even &quot;good customers&quot;) only.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you want truly uncirculated coins you&#039;d need to purchase a Mint Set from the mint itself or from a dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not aware of any gold quarters.&nbsp; Perhaps you mean the silver proof versions of the State Quarters that the Mint has been issuing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I highly recommend coin shows.&nbsp; Many of them pay special attention to young collectors such as your son.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
