<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 50398, member: 2100&quot;]I agree with those who voiced that he should collect what he likes. My suggestion is a bit different in that I would suggest some form of token collecting. Some types, such as transportation tokens, are very inexpensive even for 85-90 year old tokens. I&#039;ve purchased them in small lots for less than .10 each, including s/h. If you live in an older cummunity, locally issued tokens may spark that special interest because the businesses may still be active, or at least the buildings may remain to provide a down home sense of history. Library research or postcards related to those merchants enlarge the window providing the view into the past. Many types of token collecting require much more involvement with the &quot;hunt&quot; than the plunking down of cash at the coin shop counter,&nbsp; and $5/week can buy many tokens. IMO tokens can provide for a more intense history session, especially on the local level. Or he may think tokens from merchants with the same last name are neat. Granted, this type of collecting is not for everyone, but if you feel your son may have some interest here, message me and I will be glad to send a sampling of tokens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
