Is This A Good Start-Up Set?

Thanks.

I would pass this one up.

Go to the "coins you want to buy" part of the forum and make a list of coins your interested in and someone will offer you something more reasonable.

Actually the idea is great but I too worry about the actual items you would receive. It is a geat idea to start kids with something of that variety to spark their interest but note that most items are a little on the nothing side. For one thing you could purchase a magnifying glass anywhere for a dollar. The dollar stores, flea markets, etc all have them. And those folders will do more harm to a coin than they are worth. I do like the idea of all the variety of coins to inspire a kid to get interested in coins though.
Actually the seller is smart knowing full well that the average person is lazy and although may say I'll make up one like that myself, they probably never will. One trip to a coin show, coin store, flea market, would get you all those for a lot less. And too, if you try right here, many members may help out with putting together a similar variety of coins for a lot, lot less.s
