just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 09:13 am Difficult problem with today's computer gaming. Kids just have little to no interest in a hobby that just sits there. Up until recently I USED to give a Proof set and a Red Book to about 14 different relatives for Christmas. Now I've found that most just sold them off. Few even saved them and none really wanted any of those at all. I've stopped doing that now. None of my relatives of any age are into coins, stamps or any collectable type hobby. Coins just can not compete with modern day computer systems and those cell phones. So what age can you start a kid with coins? Who knows. Report this Post to the Staff
Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 09:34 am I've been setting aside some different coins in my extras pile that I can give to the kids when they are older. These include Canadian 1942 tombac 5 cents, 1967 centennial coins, 1973 Mountie quarter, nickel half and dollar coins, 1976 U.S. bicentennial quarters, etc. These are conversation starters that may (or may not) get them interested in exploring the hobby further. I figure it worth a try. Report this Post to the Staff

I got interested at about 4 1/2... but not officially into it until I was 5. Kids with an interest in Math and numbers are more open at a younger age... those into the arts at a young age might also be interested if you show them stuff like Walking Liberty halves... CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff
