<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 50279, member: 112&quot;]Howdy snowbird - Welcome to the Forum !!</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me make a bit of a different suggestion if I may based on my personal experience with my own son. He&#039;s 13 now, going on 22, and has been collecting for a bit over 3 yrs. My rules for helping him are rather simple - support whatever HE decides. But - provide him with the tools that will help him make his own decisions. That&#039;s the easy part. Start off by getting him a Red Book and a copy of the Official ANA Grading Standards for United States Coins. After that - just follow his lead.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see - there really is only one rule that coin collectors should always follow - collect what you like. And no one else can decide for him what he likes - but him. But it is important that dad be there and that dad shares his excitement, especially in the beginning, with whatever it is the boy decides to collect. </p><p><br /></p><p>Trust me, that last sentence will mean more in the years to come than anything else&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
