[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 7814309, member: 5233"]Well, for his birthday I bought my 7-year old (Owen) a Whitman State Quarter album and he immediately went to town going through all my change bins trying to fill it. He probably found 2/3 of the coins. What I didn't expect was his 5-year old brother (Oliver) to get super upset because he wanted a coin book too. Apparently both of them are interested. So, wanting to encourage this behavior I bought Oliver a book too but knowing Owen had pillaged most of my state quarters I needed something different. I settled on a Whitman 20th & 21st Century Type Album. I figured we could find a lot of the coins in my change bucket and many of the others I probably had duplicates of he could have. Each night for about the last week we have worked on his coin book...going through the spare change and pilfering little bits of lower grade coins from my collection. He has had a blast and nearly filled the book. He especially enjoyed the Franklin Half as we were in Philadelphia 2 weeks ago and saw the Liberty Bell and Franklin's Grave. I think the last few I will have to jump on eBay to grab but we are close. We were able to find everything except: Barber Half Dollar Ike Bicentennial Dollar SBA Dollar American Innovation Dollar But, those will be easy enough to snag online. We've both had a lot of fun. Here he is proudly with his Type Album [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/uzFQCcj.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
