Hi Everyone!
I have two nephews ages 4 and 6 years old. I am wanting to get them interested in a hobby that doesn't use a television. I thought perhaps coin collecting might be something they would find interesting. I'm on a tight budget and had originally thought about putting together a wheat penny album. A couple guys from T-Net, knowing I am not a coin collector, told me of the price of some of the wheat pennies....HOLY COW! They suggested Jefferson nickel albums instead.
So here is where I come to you guys seeking advice. If I were to go to the bank and purchase rolls of nickels would it take me forever to find the coins I need to build the two albums? I was thinking of the 1938-1961 books. Also, when asking for rolls of nickels do I ask for bank rolls or customer rolled coins?
Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'm going up for a visit this fall and my idea is to leave some holes in the albums for them to fill. Then their dad can pick up a few rolls from the bank each week and they can break them open and go through them together looking for the needed coins.
Thanks for your help.
