BEGINNING YOUR COLLECTION
There are few
people who do not have at
least the beginning of a coin
collection. Many of us own
at least one or more "good
luck coins", a large
penny, an old Indian nickel
or silver dollar, a medal
or a souvenir token. Any one
of these items has often led
to the start of a large coin
collection and a new hobby.
Acquiring a coin collection
of scope, interest and value
takes some time and effort.
This is due to the fact that
there are many branches of
the numismatics hobby to explore
and study. Some of these take
years to master but this is
part of the secret of this
hobby's interest and charm.
Coins are fascinating because
they often reflect stories
of royalty, great leaders,
history, power and patriotism
relating to their respective
countries of issuance. Famous
figures become real and alive
when depicted on an old coin.

WHAT TO COLLECT
|
|
. For example, Julius
Caesar and Alexander the Great, in ancient
times; Henry VIII, Napoleon, George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln are all
portrayed on coins just as they appeared
at the time.
It’s best to start your collection
by choosing WHAT you want to collect.
It’s difficult to say “I
just want to collect coins” because
there are hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds to choose from. If you want
to just amass a few stray coins for
your own pleasure, by all means, do
so, but this is not really coin collecting.
True collectors strive to complete
sets of coins. That’s part of
the allure – hunting out the
coins that will fit into their set.
Do not try to specialize in too many
categories as it can become time consuming
and expensive. You may want to attend
a coin show to see some of the specialized
collections often on display and find
one that interests you.
It’s important to study the
hobby – a lot. This book is
a great start, but there are many
other publications out there to familiarize
yourself with coins and what you will
be collecting. If you don’t
study the hobby, you risk investing
a lot of money on over-priced and
counterfeit coins.
Collecting coins from circulation
is a great place to start. The risk
is negligible (you can always spend
the coins), and you can learn a lot
examining your coins carefully and
seeing what a reference book says
about them.
This is the easiest and least expensive
way to begin collecting coins. You
must do so systematically, however.
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.
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 coin is
almost as much fun as finding it.
Let’s look at some different
ways numismatists organize their prizes.
