Besides, step aside for this one.. When my husband was about 9 or so, (not really sure, I do not dare ask him while I type this..) he turned a 1944-D Lincoln Cent into... wait for it... well, you get the picture. He still has it, too. It looks terrible, by the way. |

As a newbie quantity over quality was my main problem. I bought a lot of stuff that if I were to sell now would either not have much interest or would sell for bargain basement prices since they are so common. I had a hard time detecting problem coins and bought quite a few that were cleaned or had environmental problems. Still make some newbie mistakes nowadays, most common is that I pay too much for nice but unexceptional coins that I could purchase much cheaper on ebay. I enjoy supporting the local economy by patronizing local coin dealers but I really need to draw the line after getting burned in too many instances. They might be nice upstanding people with a lot of knowledge but I can't afford their margins. |

I suppose it is okay as long as he keeps it. But if it ever gets out in the wild... |

Naah, that thing is so ugly and obvious, chances are it will be inherited as a novelty by one of our kids, since it's got a story. We have a few coins that were Ed's father's which have little value, but we keep because they mean a lot to Ed. Our family is a big gang of sentimental succors. |

I was thinking more of the fright factor than anyone thinking it was real.  Or was I?  I think the kids will appreciate it, though.  |
