Several coins good for new collectors

In the last column I suggested buying a coin, or multiple coins, as a gift this year. Often I get the question, “what should I buy?” There is a host of options. Coins being made by the U.S. Mint today are an obvious choice. One can purchase a set of proof coins, a silver eagle or one of the many commemoratives being made. These coins add a level of relevance, as they are made with this year’s date on them. This also can help one remember the year the gift was given.
