AusCoin - yes I do have a spare 2004 pointy. Bought one and then found the second one a week later when noodling. Always the way! She has already spotted it in my 20c album. She is smart - 2 years ahead of where she should be at school - I have no chance.

wwwww - I like that idea, but the coins will all look the same to her (as they do to me!) Maybe have that as a side collection.

I am going to let her decide what to do next, I have shown her a lot of coins today with a lot of potential collection ideas. Whatever she decides I shall support. At least with this hobby you can park it for a while or sell it or try and collect each type of coin ever produced. darn I love this hobby!
Rest in Peace

So my suggestion would be sixpences. They are shiny and silver, bigger than threepences but still relatively cheap.

By the time she's old enuf to get married, she'll have one in each pair of shoes, ready for eloping, etc.

Get her coins that can't be used as cash during her teenage years.

Just bought a random lot of world coins, as I'm now into looking for chook type coins, anyway I can see a few seahorse coins, do you want a seahorse coin it's the size of a 5c.
Still trying to put them into types of coins I have no idea what countries there from, might have to post pics in the identification forum.

I'm only guessing but I think that one comes from Singapore.
Kids adore coins with animals on them.
Give your Daughter the first pick through them I bet she picks the animal coins

You are a GOOD sort AC
I got you confused with Dibby.
What is wrong with kids anyway.
At the end of the day they are the "ONLY" real investment you can make.
I have 4 the Missus has 5 and between us we have 22 grandkids.
When they come and visit they make me feel like a GOD.
I do spoil em but that is my job, After all I'm Grandad
