<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Naplesjack, post: 2193835, member: 76468&quot;]Growing up in Brooklyn during the wonder years of 1948 thru 1965 gave just about everyone with an ounce of ambition the opportunity to prosper and &quot;moving up&quot; as the song goes. And so it was with my first collection of cents and nickels.&nbsp; Not one particular coin, but with the intuitive insight that the coins were not only fun to collect, hoard and look at, but would increase in value over time.</p><p>But according to folk lure of those times, coins lost out to beer, beaches, and rock an roll. And Mom gave the coins away to her side of our tribe along with my toy soldiers, cannons, tanks and WWII planes replicas which were the best my rich widowed Auntie could buy.</p><p>Fast forward to NOW !!!&nbsp; Coins are center forward in my efforts to wean my 10yr old Grandson from all things digital.&nbsp; I lost with comic books, toy soldiers, and soccer.</p><p>I am ahead with fishing and a grudging interest in script and a quarter coin map of the 48. However, I am hooked again and determined to share my enthusiasm with Robby on his 2 week solo visit to Florida next week.</p><p>My Plan---talk up Coins while pier fishing.&nbsp; Place some foreign script in his wallet while asleep and under his breakfast tray.&nbsp; Coin roll hunt with him, giving up some of the take(bribery) while extolling the value of (salted) the &quot;discovered&quot; wheats.</p><p>Diving for Morgans in the pool and, then, a trip to Dairy Queen via the local coin store.</p><p>Will it work??? Only the Shadow knows!!&nbsp; </p><p>Welcome any suggestions.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Hopeful[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
