    Looks like he has a good start. Tell him to keep at it. It will keep him out of trouble if he does simple things that stimulate the br.

    Re: Collection of a 12 yr old....

    Great pile of stuff. My advice is look into the dansco coin albums, they are archival quality, and have two sided "windows" on each page. They look really slick, and keep coins nice and cozy. Keep it up, you won't regret it !!
    I noticed that no-one really utilizes all the signature space provided, so I figured to be REALLY original I would make up the longest signature that I could and probably just leave it as one big run on sentence because all that punctuation just takes up way too much space-HH.
