My son and I finished our MS Kennedy Half (inspired by Russ, Ken, and all of the other Kennedy Heads) set today. It is in a Dansco album (inspired by Baley).
The best part was showing my son how to hold the coins, insert them and the feeling he got when we put in the last two (86 P&D).
Is this a great hobby or what?

We may try to tackle those nasty ol' Frankies next.

Currently attempting the 12 Coin US Gold Type Set and the 20th Century US Major Coin Type Set. Completed a Franklin Half Proof Set.
For me, though, I was always left wondering what to do next. Finishing a set is bittersweet for some; it was for me. There is the sweet feeling of accomplishment, but also sort of a confused "what now?" state.
What's your next milestone? Frankies, huh?

You are clearly an outstanding parent raising your son to appreciate the finer things in life. Now, don't go and spoil that by doing Frankies.

Don,
You're looking at the cup as half empty. If there's enough like him, we sell off our stashes and retire in luxury!

Russ, I won't be sniping any of your Kennedies, because I have a Russ-like fetish for 1996-w Roosevelt dimes. I have quite a pile of slabs of them. When I get enough of them to compete with your pile of AH's I will post them. (thats your cue to post the pile-o-AH's)

What pile?

Tell your son welcome to the fold.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
