Good story. It is nice to hear about youth getting involved with the hobby, as well as dealers taking the time to spend with the youth that come into their stores.

The reporter could have done a bit better job with the research though, the Two Cent Piece was made of bronze - not "copper-nickel", "and the 3-cent silver nickel" sounds like one type of coin instead of two types, "half-pennies"? - I thought those were British and that we had Half Cents, "$2-gold pieces" - never heard of that one, and when she wrote "Bega owns an 1875 silver 20-cent piece, a coin the United States minted for three years, between 1875 and 1878.", well, I count 4 years of issue - 1875, 1876, 1877 & 1878. Sorry for sounding nit-picky. It comes from too many years of scrutinizing everything for mistakes as an engineering checker.
