Book Reviews of Coin Collecting for Kids
Book Review: Hit of the Party
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a gift for our 6 year old nephew. He loved it! We spent hours filling in the coins that he already owned. It has a full section for state quarters and presidential dollars. It also has a section for oldest coins, annual pennies, and other interesting sections. My nephew had us all emptying our pockets and the whole family got involved. He was completely fascinated by it. It is of excellent quality and beautifully presented. The only drawback was that some of the coin slots were tight and hard for a 6 year old to press a coin into. Overall, we highly recommend this book. It was a big hit at the party and lots of fun.Book Review: What a great book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was much better than I expected. It is a great first coin book. There are inserts for every US coin. I was not expecting it to be so inclusive. You can use it to collect all state quarters - new nickles - President dollars - there are even spots for the new penny's that have not even come out yet. Plus some fun collections (year you were born - oldest of each coin) Plus it has lots of info about making coins. The only issue we found were that some of the coins were VERY tight fits. Wonderful gift that you can keep building on.Book Review: Informational, but a few product flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book for my 11 year old, who was just starting to collect coins. It covers the basic areas of collecting, but some of the coin slots were too small and wouldn't hold the coins, so they constantly fall out. In the dollar coin section the slots were nowhere near big enough. In the State quarter section it is missing the territorial quarters, such as Guam, Puerto Rico and others. Consequently, any coins that don't fit or stay in the book my son is keeping in a jar and looking for another place to display them.Book Review: Awesome Gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a kindergarten graduation gift for my daughter. Little did I realize the family bonding it would inspire. She and my husband spent hours sifting through our coins. Then we took it to the grandparents house and they spend hours going through their coins with her. We now have given 3 more as birthday gifts to her friends. The slots work perfectly and the historical information is very well done. It's a gift she'll have for many, many years to come instead of a toy or book she'll outgrow someday.Book Review: Great book, bad binding
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the third time I have purchased this book. What a great way to introduce children to coin collecting. However, with my third purchase, the binding has either changed or I received an older edition. The binding keeps getting caught on the pages but all in all I would still buy the book. However I would look for the version with metal ring binding versus the white plastic covered metal binding I received on this latest book. I would have given the product five stars otherwise.
