CLS12 Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 09:06 am I'd say State Quarter map is a good gateway. You could also get her one of those Whitman folder type sets that include birth year, that could be good long term project that you can help her with on gift giving occasions and won't break the bank if she gently nudged her parents for assistance Report this Post to the Staff

He was not a collector, but he occasionally gave me such coins as gifts. I saved them for years. The reason they were so special to me was because I considered them rare, since I never encountered such coins in circulation. That fascinated me. You know I have to give a thumbs up here. A somewhat familiar story to me. Quote: I am already considering doing the "fill blue folders from pocket change" thing. Is a RedBook to much for a nine year old? I say this is a great start. My mother getting me those little blue folders was what caused me to cross from curiosity to collector. A RedBook is a bonus, gives us something to do when not actively collecting the coins.

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 2:51 pm All good ideas. When I do this with the nieces and nephews, we always check the globe to see where the coin came from, and the encyclopedia to learn something about the culture. A lot of our sentences begin with, "Did you know..." Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/02/2016 6:51 pm Of course I think the idea of the State Quarter map is a good idea. I always like seeing new State Quarter collectors. Another idea - Whitman makes a nice 20th century type album. There are a couple of harder coins, but many can be found in circulation. It also would give you the opportunity to give her gifts in the future, of coins for those harder to fill holes. Report this Post to the Staff
Half Pillar of the Community United States 606 Posts	Posted 06/10/2016 2:55 pm I appreciate all the ideas! I remembered I have a book with State Quarters holes around here somewhere. I think I'll give that to her. Maybe get her started CRHing. lol I may even find a LCS within a decent drive. Report this Post to the Staff
EconBrony Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 12:38 pm I second the proof idea. Many kids a fascinated by them. Proof sets were what originally sent me over the edge lol Report this Post to the Staff
hozer Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 06/13/2016 6:48 pm State Quarters are a great idea, also I would get her a few rolls of cents and throw in a few Wheaties and or a IHC, Nickels too throw in a few Buffalo. Report this Post to the Staff
