<p>[QUOTE=&quot;marid3, post: 1574688, member: 35968&quot;]I have lots of &#039;junk&#039; coins laying around, clad and silver.&nbsp; I like to give a whitman folders ($3) and a handful of coins to get them interested.&nbsp; Modern pennies and nickels for little ones, silver dimes and quarters if I want to give something more valuable.&nbsp; This gift is fun, as it&#039;s interactive and valuable, and creates a shared interest.&nbsp; However, if they&#039;re potentially irresponsible (might spend them at face value) or if a more formal gift is required, I&#039;d buy the silver proof sets from the mint - they&#039;re simply stunning, and the base metal is an investment (the premium for th proof coinage and the shipping/packaging is your &#039;sunk cost&#039; - like a disposable toy).&nbsp; My $.02[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
