coins collection
Coin Collectors enjoy collecting coins on various levels. But coin collecting is not an easy hobby to start, especially for profits, many are curious as to why the coin is valuable.
The best value for a gold coin that has not been in circulation is when it is in mint state - its shine and appeal intact. How do you get the coin. It is hard getting the rare gold coin. For example, seeking gold has been one of the goals of many people for ages, but actually finding gold is a very tough job that requires not only skill but also luck.
Where do you find coins?
In U.S. most coin collectors begin with coins of U.S., and the most popular method of collecting is by date and mint mark. In other words, you will try to find one coin for each year and from each mint.
The sample procedure is as follows.
(1) A date and mint-mark collection of Lincoln cents will include one coin each from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints during the years 1909 to the present date. You will not be able to find all the mints for all the years. Because, some mints produced no coins during certain years.
(2) The easiest and least expensive way to begin collecting coins is to pick coins from the circulation. But you must do so systematically. Otherwise, you will let too many good coins get away. Every day, put aside any coins you receive in change. Keep them either in a separate pocket or in a separate spot inside your purse. Do this with every coin you receive.
(3) Then, in the evening, go through the change, keeping the coins you don't have. Also compare your day's catch with the coins in your collection, and exchange the poorer coins in your collection for better ones from the change.
By consistently checking your change every day, you not only add to your collection, but also upgrade its condition. Upgrading a gold coin is almost as much fun as finding it.
Now that you have a collection, you will want somewhere to keep it preferably a place where your coins will be protected, yet can be shown off to other collectors and friends. Suppliers have anticipated your desires, and there are dozens of inexpensive folders and albums available.
We wish you success.
