Collecting coins is one of the oldest hobbies in human history. From Caesar Augustus to Popes, heads of state and famous athletes, humans have admired and valued coins for millennia.
The hobby has declined in popularity over time, but that doesn’t mean it’s dying. In fact, experts say that coin collecting is a great way to learn about history and culture.
Coins are a popular investment commodity and many of the rarer, higher-grade coins that sell for millions of dollars each year have their own unique set of circumstances surrounding their minting.
For instance, a coin might be considered a rarity because it was only issued for a limited number of years or it was a high-end issue that was minted in gold instead of silver.
It could also be an example of a collectible that is so important to the culture or history of the country where it was made that it was worth a significant price premium over its face value.
A coin’s condition (its grade) is also key to its value. A coin that has been soiled or rubbed is usually worth less than one that’s in perfect condition.
The digital age has influenced the hobby in many ways, largely because of how easy it is to access information about coins online and how easy it is to buy and sell them. However, there are still some challenges that collectors face.
