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.

You are off to a super start Matt. Keep up the great work. My collection was not even half that big when I was 12. Super job.

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 !!
