For many people, collecting coins is an absorbing and rewarding hobby. It can start with just a few coins picked up from pocket change, or maybe a collection of commemorative coin from a holiday, or even a series of gold and silver bullion pieces. It could be that a collector is following in the footsteps of an older family member who also collects, or it might simply be that they’re looking to make a return on their investment. Whatever the motivation, a good collector takes their time to learn as much as possible about the subject. That includes understanding the parts of a coin, its inscriptions and images as well as gaining an appreciation for grading and authentication.
For a beginner, it’s important to know what types of coins they want to collect and how to care for them. This is because a lot of a coin’s value lies in its condition, so collectors should always handle a coin with care and keep it clean by using soft cotton gloves and specialist coin holders, folders or air-tight albums. They should also never use chemicals on a coin, and it’s worth investing in some specialised cleaning products that are specifically designed for numismatics.
Once a collector has a clear idea of what they’re after, it’s time to start searching. A great place to start is by checking the pockets of loved ones and looking in old piggy banks, before moving on to local coin shops and auctions. Collectors can also join online communities and swap groups, where they can share their finds with other enthusiasts.
