Hi All,
I know we all CRH for different reasons, but I have numerous reasons why I CRH. One of which is to locate silver to sell, but I also am trying to collect a bit for my kids. I have 3 grown children, 1 grandchild. I am attempting to put together a full roll set of each cent, nickel, and halve so I can give to my kids someday. Not the real oldies--cause they are rare, but just something to peak their interest.
My granddaughter (who is 5) went with us to last week's coin show. One gentlemen gave her a Jefferson nickel blue book with 1/2 the coins filled (including 2 War Nickles). She was hooked. She would not let go of it on the way home--she fell asleep in her carseat--the only way I could even take a look at what she got! The nice gentlemen gave it to her with no charge. She got several "goodies" along the way, including numerous foreign coins (no value), but you would have thought she had struck gold from her reaction! She would not let "grannie Apush" hold her "haul." She was a "big girl" and could hold her finds herself.
Just curious if anyone else is attempting to do the same.
PS: I am saving the Walkers & Bens--but Mr. Apush says sell them someday for a trip to Europe rather than give them to our kids! Debating on that one.
