Many people who collect coins do it because they love the beauty and the history of the coins themselves, but there is a large segment of the collecting population who collect coins for someone else - a child or grandchild. Such collectors are usually hoping that the coins they buy will increase in value over the years, providing both an heirloom of sorts, and a solid store of value in case the money was ever needed.
What kind of coins should should people buy when they are buying for someone else? This is the subject of my article about how to start a coin collection for your children or grandchildren. Do you know how to avoid the coin collecting "tourist traps?"
