<p>[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 872085, member: 19098"]Personally, I don't see much point in collecting coins for your nephews. You might give them a few interesting coins as gifts and see if they think they are cool. If yes, then maybe get into the hobby with them some more. If not, I vote to forget about it. Collect what you like and enjoy the hobby. It is very tough to get someone else into the hobby if they don't have any interest of their own. When most kids get gifted coins they usually are thinking about spending them if they are of low value or cashing them in, if the coins are of high value. Your nephews are probably about average. Jefferson nickels (1938 to date) are about the only set a person collecting only from circulation will have much luck with in terms of getting coins dated before 1964 (well, cents back to 1959, then the wheaties get pulled).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
