Coin collecting old money is a popular pastime that can be quite rewarding. Some people collect coins purely for their historical value, while others do so for patriotic reasons or as an investment. Some rare specimens have been known to fetch millions of dollars at auction. Regardless of the motivation, anyone interested in starting a collection should do their research before jumping in. Purchasing a reputable reference book is a must and will serve as a valuable resource for any collector.
While we often think of metal as very durable, the surface of a coin is actually very delicate and can be easily scratched or damaged. For this reason, it is important to purchase quality storage materials, such as coin holders, albums, and safes. A safe is especially recommended for storing expensive or rare coins. The safe will help to protect the coins from water, fire, and theft, all of which can be a threat to any collection.
A good place to start for those new to coin collecting is a type set, which is a collection of all the different types of coins from a particular country. Some collectors also like to collect by region or event. For example, some people collect the special edition coins that are minted to commemorate historic events or anniversaries. While there are many benefits to collecting coins, it is important to remember that it is a hobby that can be very costly if not done correctly.
