beachnut Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 06/04/2016 08:17 am I found this site a few weeks ago while looking something up, which I don't recall what it was. I've been collecting coins my whole life but have never paid more than face. I remember being a little girl in the late sixties looking at coins with my grandfather. My parents were also collectors. A few weeks ago my grandson turned 9. For his birthday I picked up a roll of halves. His response, after thank you of course, "Grammy, I'm not addicted to coins like you are". Unfortunately there was nothing good in the roll. I want to get my grandchildren into this great hobby and have now decided to get books together for both my grandchildren which has only fueled my obsession further. I have already learned a lot here and look forward to learning more. Report this Post to the Staff

beachnut Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 06/04/2016 7:24 pm I gave my daughter a some bicentennial halves to put under his pillow when he lost a tooth. After all, kids do like big coins. He was thrilled with them. Hence the reason I got him the roll. Haven't had the opportunity to introduce my granddaughter to it yet. Next time either one loses a tooth, I'm reaching into my pile of Ikes, Now that's "big" money. Report this Post to the Staff

beachnut Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 06/05/2016 08:05 am Thank you all for the warm welcomes. Can anyone point me in the direction of cleaning ink off clad halves? I haven't seen anything specific to Kennedy halves and don't want to ruin the coins. Went through a box of coins the other day that was covered in ink. I think I got part of someone's collection. Some of the coins are gorgeous but about half have ink on the ridges. If these coins don't get the kids interested in collecting I don't know what will. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/05/2016 08:49 am 100% acetone will remove the ink but may leave a witness mark where the ink was. It shouldn't affect the patina. Try it on one and check the results. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
