[QUOTE="bear32211, post: 2256004, member: 73759"]I have a grandson who will be three next year. I have thought about starting him out collecting with going the basic route. I would start him out at one cent. Combining addition with collecting would help him with simple math. Adding to the collection a little at a time and teaching him what numismatics is all about. Again a penny is one cent, but there are different types of 'cents' thus, there would be the Large Cent, the small cent, the Indian Head, and Lincoln. Simple, basic and making sure to keep it interesting. I believe he would enjoy it as I did. Most of all not boring him with too much information. It's 'worth' a try since he already likes to have me sit with him and read, 'look at the pictures', books we have given him.[/QUOTE]
