The buy sell spread makes them unattractive investments. So, if its ONLY for saving, then either buy bullion or, you know, open up a savings account. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. If you wish to EDUCATE her, then by all means coin collecting is a great way to do that. She will learn tons about history, geography, and many other subjects. However, this will require her participation, and she may or may not give a darn about coins. So, I would wait to see if she is interested and wishes to learn before spending much in this area. If she does want to learn, though, then even cheap world and ancient coins can teach her just as much if not more than expensive coins. One other thing, kids like to touch and feel. Don&#039;t be one of &quot;those guys&quot; who buys something for a kid but forbids them to touch it. You will suck any fun right out of the hobby for them. Buy them coins they can handle, feel, etc. Circulated coins and any ancients fit the bill here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Way too many parents get all &quot;serious&quot; about collectibles and completely ruin the hobby for their kids, just like they completely ruin sports by being so serious about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
