<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snowbird, post: 50236, member: 3021&quot;]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an 11 yr old son who has picked up an interest in collecting the past year (he loves the new state quarters and has always liked buffalo nickles so he is extremly excited about the new bison series).&nbsp; Interestingly enough I started collecting many years ago at a similar age... but since as a kid I was always buying the &quot;cheapest coins&quot; to fill in the &quot;Whitman&quot; books... 30 yrs later the value obviously hasn&#039;t changed.... so here&#039;s my question.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;What could an 11 year start collecting now (using ~$5 a week allowance money) that 40 years down the road might actually hold and possibly even increase somewhat in value.... current year PR70&#039;s?, silver coins?, cameos? certain current undervalued series (Roosevelt proofs?), foriegn coins ?(I travel a lot and he loves the change I bring home).&nbsp; He is too young to currently be interested in error varieties and of course can not grade, but he learns fast and loves a pretty looking coin.&nbsp; I do see value in this hobby (attention to detail, history lessons, business transactions, meeting new people, etc.) so I am supportive of his interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any and all ideas are welcome for a budding NEWBIE... the more the better!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
