Many threads on these boards talk about passing coins on to the next generation and the future of the hobby.
Of all the collectors here that have children and grandchildren, how many collect vs. don't collect?

That said, there are some sets that are HIS (that we work on together....silver roosies, birthyear set, etc) and some that are really me doing for my enjoyment that he is in on from the periphery (learning but out of his budget).
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

I have even bought a couple of types of coins that my daughter has shown interest in to help grow her interest.
I am taking my kids to a 125 table show on Friday.
I may or may not take them to Summer FUN...not sure yet.
I even took my daughter to Winter FUN 2014, including the lot viewing so she could hold the Brasher Doubloon, 1913 Nickel,
1792 H10 and a bunch of other really really cool toys! Took her picture holding some of these great coins so that it may
be remembered always.

- Every morning he chooses some trains and/or cars and trucks to accompany him throughout the day. They always match in color (all green, or all yellow, or all red) and he never lets them out of his sight. Usually the best car is in his hand at all times, even when he climbs or falls down, he never lets go. Just lands on his fist.
- Every toy on his train table has a specific place where it belongs. This may change from time to time, but he is very particular about where everything goes. If I move a train car, or send it down a track in the wrong direction, he will correct the issue immediately.
- Books get similar treatment. All his books appear to be scattered randomly on the shelf yet he knows where each one is located at all times.

i did school them on how to proceed with sales should i expire though
I brought some well worn, raw coins to a party where teens were also there.
I gave out V nickels, Indian head cents for them to keep.
They did seem interested, never saw them before.
They may show some polite interest at times when I want to show somebody something.
I'm on a hobby island. ZERO collecting friends.
I've had them tag along to shops and auctions. They were treated very well.
One auctioneer goes around and passes out $20 to any kid under 16 to use to bid with.
I've given them albums and bags of Wheat Cents but nothing stuck.
It's really ok with me. Can't force that kind of thing.

Those aren't half dimes. Don't tell me she has branched out.

My middle son is mostly interested in silver and he is not selling. He tells me he would sell if it got above $50
My youngest daughter just collected because her older brothers and dad were collecting. She probably will be the only one who keeps her collection as she gets a little older.
My hope is they have good memories from all the time we have spent together roll searching, going to coin shows and the local club together. If they come back to the hobby in more earnest when they are older then it is only a bonus in my opinion.

I gave him a cleaned morgan dollar and he likes to pack that thing everywhere. He has even played with it in the dirt and buried it. A few weeks ago his grandpa visited us while on vacation and he was showing him his morgan dollar, and even called it by the correct name. (He used to call it "big money".)

She already has a pretty decent set of half dimes...
