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 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.
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.
Never have I been so fortunate to buy a book, sight unseen!! And that is why I am posting pictures even while we are finishing up birthday cake and presents. I am so pleased with all the compartments to bring order to my son's amassing collection of quarters, dollars and half-dollars. Here he can learn about coins AND have great storage for an entire coin collection, all in one. This a serious older kid's boardbook, that is well built with large, white plastic spiral-binding which isn't seen from the exterior of the book. I would buy this again for any preteen interested in coins.
My son, who is almost 4, has been obsessed with this book for months. I keep expecting him to get tired of it, but the challenge of filling all the slots keeps him interested. He marches right up to the cash register when we go to a store and asks if they have any Presidential dollars! The only downside is that some of the coins, like the Eisenhower dollar, the Kennedy half-dollar, the Mercury dime, etc., are either long out of circulation or so rare that you can rule out finding one in your pocket change. Expect to hit Ebay if you want to fill this book.And here's my tip -- some of the coin slots are a little too tight, but you can smush the coins in. But some of them are too loose, and that means the coins fall out when you turn the page. I didn't want to glue the coins in, so I figured out a way to make them fit -- put a piece of a folded tissue in the slot, and allow it to stick out over about a third of the edge of the slot. Put the coin in. That little extra filler makes the coin fit tightly. Some of the tissue will still be sticking up, but it's a simple matter to tear it off, and then it looks perfect. Wish someone had told me this tip when I got the book, but I hope at least it helps someone reading this review!Minor flaws aside, I really highly recommend this book to any parent whose kid is the least bit interested in coins. It's wonderful to see your child get jumping-up-and-down excited over finding a new state quarter or presidential dollar!
This past summer my kids and I sorted, counted, and rolled over $550 in coins. In the process we filled our coin collecting book (the previous version of this one) and I couldn't believe what a great bonding experience this was. I have 3 children 6 1/2, 5, and 3 years old. My 6 1/2 year old was really into this...not so much for my other ones. But, I think they were just a little to young for them. We're on the hunt to fill in all the slots in the book.A TIP: We used glue to keep some of the coins in. They are a little tough to get in the slots, but we used a quarter and pressed the quarter on the coin to oush them into the slot. It's amazing how heavy the book gets when it's full. This was a great memory for me this summer.
From a mom's point of view, it would have been nice to make a coin book where you can get the coins in the book without using a hammer and glue. The maker did provide a nice book in a chronological linear fashion and my children and I did enjoy the trivia and facts. This book holds a lot of different coins from easy to rare.From a child's point of view (Jayde)! On the time lines it would have been nice if they would have the dates in slots so that I would know which ones to look for.
Arrived quickly per Prime. This is a great coin collecting starter book. I like the idea of having the not only the 50 states quarters series but also the presidential series and the historical pennies, dimes, nickels and specialty dollars. Great historical tidbits for kids and adults as well as explanation of the minting process and hints to what makes coins rare and valuable. My kids 3 and 6 are alread very excited to fill in the coins. I wish I had one of these growing up. The actual board book is nice and thick, really good quality and will hold up well with the weight of the coins when full. I like these so much I will start giving them as bday presents for other kids.
