<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 712084, member: 68&quot;]Exactly.&nbsp; Not only is beauty in the eye of the beholder but what is desirable to enjoy and collect is an individual preference as well.&nbsp; I&#039;d be ecstatic to have even a single MS or PR-70 state quarter while many collectors really couldn&#039;t care less.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is best to encourage new coin collectors.&nbsp; There&#039;s nothing wrong with attempting to steer them to your own chosen specialty but we should take care not to discourage them in the process.&nbsp; Many people are doing just this by slamming the coins and sometimes even the collectors themselves. It might not matter to an advanced collector what anyone thinks of his collection but how many kids will just lose interest altogether when everone makes fun of his collection no matter how much time and effort is put into it and no matter how much he has learned.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds to me that your nephews are pretty passionate about collecting.&nbsp; Why don&#039;t you buy them a nice 1964 quarter and a folder for it?&nbsp; If they lack interest maybe a folder for the older clad quarters would peek their interest.&nbsp; It seems to me that leading them in gentle steps might get them where you think they should be.&nbsp; Even if it doesn&#039;t work you just might find they&#039;ll be teaching you about coins someday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
