tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 01/31/2026 8:02 pm Does that actually mean TWO years? (Yours and the kid's?) And are you willing to say the years? Edited by tdziemia 01/31/2026 8:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
samoth Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 02/01/2026 12:49 pm Why not pursue something completely different? It helps pique one's interest and allows for learning something new. If you collect US coins, pick a different country about which you know nothing. Put together a type set or a denomination set from a meaningful year from France, Uruguay, or Japan. If you collect modern coins, pick something ancient, medieval, or early modern. What about 4th century Romans, 15th century continental Europe, or a design or year set of 18th century continental coins from groschen to thaler? If you're an American, pick coins in a non-Latin, non-Germanic language. I think middle & far east coins are undervalued, as most westerners can't read them and differentiate differences to cherry-pick rarities.

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1887 Posts	Posted 02/01/2026 2:18 pm seems to me that one of the most overlooked modern, inexpensive themes is bimetallics. more and more countries are adopting these. they are beautiful and diverse. plus dealers' foreign bins are loaded with them at kid friendly prices.

CENTertainment Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 02/01/2026 4:58 pm Tdziemia - I'm honestly so happy that he's interested that I'm more excited for his year (2012) than my own. Samoth & MySilverYears - those are great ideas that I could get behind. Maybe if either kid has a school project on another country, it would be a good excuse to go down one of those paths.
