2 year anniversary, YN-Emily, Reflections

TunisTunis Posts: 429 ✭✭✭✭

I was reviewing my first post and here are my reflections in no particular order.
Emily-my 13 year old daughter
-has no use for coins in plastic
-does not know about CAC, or care
-loves to search rolls of coins from the credit union
-loves to find “toned coins”
-gets excited finding silver
-more excited filling holes in her Whitman folders
Paul-myself
-still like proof cents
-dimes are too small to collect
-decided on Bust Halves, angry at money spent in the beginning on my education
-PCGS only for my purchases
-Like CAC
-met some really good people on the website who have helped Emily with her collection and have imparted their knowledge to me.
-my father passed this last December and he is the one who inspired Emily and me to start our collections.
Glad to be part of this community!!
Paul

    Its great you both have a connection to your dad through collecting. It's really great she's still interested at 13!

    I'm also glad to be part of the forum. :)

    Who is doing it right? Both of you as long as you are happy with what you collect.

    The teen years! Glad your young one still has an interest in the hobby. The interest will will wax and wane through the years but the hope is that it will always be there.

    Thank you for sharing your reflections @Tunis.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Great post.... I have no idea what my first posts were about.... and after 20+ years, there is no way they could be found... One total forum software restart.. and two subsequent revisions, lost a lot of history. Interesting that your daughter is actively participating....my daughters (much older) only have occasional sparks of interest when they receive an odd coin in change...Then I get the inquiries..."What is this coin Dad??".... The occasional silver coin shows up though.... Cheers, RickO

    Glad to hear your enthusiasm! I think you two might be perfect for the ANA's Summer Seminar https://www.money.org/summer-seminar
    If it's a stretch, you might consider next year - there are scholarships available for adults and YNs.

    Just a huge thank you for all who contributed to my daughter’s Lincoln cent collection. It was greatly appreciated. Pics to follow.

    @Tunis & Emily
    Go, Girl! This is the best way to learn and collect. If you keep it up, you will remember that is one of the best times you will ever have with your dad (and vise versa). May all your "finds" be special.
