<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2278888, member: 36864"]Well that's why I asked the questions before I went down that path. Though it seems fun to me to bring them back to life, will it really encourage him to collect or am I setting him up for frustration and making him lose interest before he really gets going? I am mainly an early US proof collector and and not opposed to shelling some bucks to encourage him, but with no knowledge of ancient coins, I just didn't want to get burned too badly. Maybe I'll just stick around here with you guys a bit more and learn a bit before diving in. But really if I spent a hundred bucks on some nice quality commons, I can't think that would hurt him to keep up his excitement. It would be much easier on me if he collected US coins, I'm an encyclopedia and have a library of resource books at my house on the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
