Whether you are an experienced coin collector or are just getting started, this book will help you unlock the secrets of this fascinating hobby. Discover tips and tricks that will teach you how to choose the rarest coins, and how to organize and care for your collection like a professional. You’ll also learn about the captivating history of numismatics, and how to turn your passion for coins into a rewarding and lucrative source of income.
When you are ready to count your coins, it’s helpful to separate them by denomination (pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters). This will make the process quicker and more accurate. You can then put your loose change into “coin rolls,” which are paper or plastic tubes that each hold a certain number of coins. They are available at banks or online, and they will save you time when you need to take your coins to the bank or other places that require exact change.
Then, place your roll of coins into a coin-counting machine like the one at your local Walmart. The machine will tally your total and allow you to select whether you want cash back, an eGift Card or a donation to charity. Be sure to clean your coins and remove any metal objects that could jam the machine or interfere with the counting process.
A great gift for anyone who loves collecting coins, this unique and empowering guide is the perfect way to introduce readers of all ages to an exciting new hobby that is safe, educational and enriching.
