Two questions to ask ... if the gift will be from your son, what does he think about the idea? And has the recipient indicated any interest in coins? If both are positive, then by all means go ahead. The reason I pause to ask is that all of us here are in love with coins and can't understand why others aren't. As an 11 yr old I was also bitten by the bug, but coin collecting had a "nerd" stigma that persists to this day in that age group.
Just some things to think about.

You should really check first otherwise any type of coins would possibly be spent as coins for candy or gum.
I've been giving proof sets to people for many, many years for presents and basically just they just sit there. Most have no interest and I've heard that some have been just sold not long after. I've just about given up. If a person has no interest in coins then such a gift is a waste and may end up being dumped.
