<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 50255, member: 1910&quot;]You could stock him up with the contemporary coins.&nbsp; Every year I pull the best P&#039;s and D&#039;s of each denomination that I can find out of circulation.&nbsp; They won&#039;t ever be terribly valuable, but, as others have noted, when he pulls them out for his grandkids in 50 years, he&#039;ll have quite a memory of time spent with his father, and they&#039;ll be impressed by the coins.&nbsp; And for those you can&#039;t find in circulation (halves, Sackies), you can always try your local coin store.&nbsp; My guy keeps them around for a small premium over face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also may find that if he really gets into coins, grandparents and aunts/uncles (and even you) will appreciate it come Christmas and birthdays.&nbsp; Finding appreciated gifts for teens (he&#039;s approaching that age, after all) is tough.&nbsp; If they know they can spend twenty-some dollars on a proof set, and that he&#039;ll like it, they&#039;ll buy it for him.&nbsp; Leaving him to save his $5 for something really special.&nbsp; I got my AU 1878CC Morgan dollar that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
