Book Reviews of Coin Collecting for Kids
Book Review: Great source for kids.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter after she had showed an interest in coin collecting. She was drawn to it as soon as she opened the book. The illustrations are great and the layout is very kid friendly. We both have agreed that she can take the book with her when we go on our "antique" shopping quests. I am very impressed on how well thought out this book is. I as well as my daughter have fun with this book. Highly recommended for the young coin collector.Book Review: Great Idea -- horrible execution
Summary: 2 Stars
My seven year old was excited to open this book and spent hours reading it and searching our spare change jars for coins. Then, when he picked it up, half the coins fell out. I couldn't even get many of them to stay in and we haven't even started with the dollar coins yet. We ended up taping the coins into the slots. The level of frustration was huge for both of us and so unnecessary if only they had taken the time to measure the coins and ensure proper construction.Book Review: Great idea. TERRIBLE construction!
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is perfect for this age group. All of the previous reviewers have been right. However, the spiral bound construction, as it is, is ill-conceived. Not sure they expected kids to actually want to LOOK at it more than a couple of times. There's no way it would hold up to months or years of handling. We had to take plumber ties and pull together several ends of the spirals to get it to hold. It's working now, but pretty lame that we had to do this.Book Review: Great Fun and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this book for any child interested in coin collecting. It's a very fun book, filled with interesting facts and history about coins, states and presidents. Geared toward kids 9 - 12 years of age, it will help them build a decent coin collection, and maybe encourage them to continue into serious collecting. Would be a great gift for that special child, especially with a few coins already inserted into the holders in the book.Book Review: Great for Kids
Summary: 5 Stars
This coin collector book is simply awesome for kids. It has so many pages of different types of coins they can collect, like wheat pennies, coins from their birth year, and pennies from every year from 1970-present. My son spent hours working on this when he first got it, including going through his piggy bank. He continued to usse it after initially filling it. I recommend it for your kid.
