<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 50283, member: 2544&quot;]I also have an 11 year-old son that is now interested in collecting.&nbsp; I personally don&#039;t push the investment side of the hobby because I think it takes away from the pleasure of collecting the coins in the first place.&nbsp; You do however, have to educate yourself on the &quot;true&quot; value of the coins you are collecting so that you aren&#039;t paying too much for relatively low-valued coins.&nbsp; </p><p>With my son, I try to teach him the history of the coins he is collecting i.e. how long they were minted, what came before and after, why certain coins are valued more than others, etc.&nbsp; He does like error coins and seems to look for them more asggressively than I might have guessed when we started.&nbsp; Don&#039;t discount your son&#039;s different interests just because they may not be yours.&nbsp; I just think it is important to keep them interested until you are ready to pass your collection on to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
