Coin Collecting for Kids

This is a great little book for young coin collectors, especially those who are just getting started. It has very sturdy thick "pages" to hold your special coins. It has a place for all 50 statehood quarters, a place for your birth year coins and a place for special coins, like the Indian head cent, the Buffalo nickel, the Mercury dime, the Liberty standing quarter, the Peace dollar and more. It also gives a lot of interesting information about coins like how coins are made, the parts of a U.S. coin, how to grade coins, minting mistakes, fascinating coin facts and even more. My 7 year old daughter has just become interested in coin collecting and this is the first book we bought for her (for Christmas). I think it's going to be a great way to encourage her in her new hobby. I really can't think of anything bad to say about the book. I would buy it again and I would definitely recommend it. I just wish he'd write a book like this on international coins!

I got 2 of these books - one for my 7-year old and one for my 5-year old. They both have enjoyed looking through coins and finding their place in the book, especially the state coins. My 7-year old is more interested in the fun facts contained within the pages, but it's a great on-going project we can pull out anytime. I plan on giving more of these books as gifts to friends' kids.

Both my kids and husband enjoyed this book. It's a great way to collect not only state quarters, but other coins as well. All the coins are easily obtainable without a trip to the coin collector shop. It's a great way to get anyone into collecting.

Perfect for that first-collection kiddo. It's been very popular with my first graders and with several kids lucky enough to get it as a present. Very sturdy, too, a big plus. But beware, it turns the kids into coin fanatics! Any new state quarters elicit huge excitement and many happy scenes in stores, etc.

I purchased this for my 12-year-old cousin who had started to collect the 50 state quarters along with stray change as boys do. He stayed up until almost midnight the first night (a weekend, of course), reading and placing coins. He has become so enthused that he took his weekly allowance to a coin shop to purchase some coins. Even the owners of the coin shop were impressed with the book. They said that they had not seen one like it and thought it was great.
