Why Collect Coins?

So why collect coins? The answer is simple. Coin collectors, sometimes called numismatists, enjoy collecting coins on various levels. Some collect coins for their rarity; some collect coins hoping that one day their collection will be worth a value. Some just do it for the pure pleasure of having a hobby that is easy to do. Starting small and doing a bit of research is the best way to dive into this rewarding hobby. Take time to learn the basics of coin collecting through books, websites (like this one), and other resources designed to help you understand the essentials. We’re here to guide you and provide the knowledge you need to start your coin-collecting journey with confidence.

What Is An Uncirculated Coin and Why Does It Matter? When exploring the world of coin collecting, a question often arises: What is an uncirculated coin? For both novice collectors and seasoned numismatists, understanding this term is essential to unlocking the true potential of a collection. If you’ve ever wondered about the pristine coins untouched by human hands, how they differ from regular coins, or why they command such fascination, this guide will provide clarity and actionable insights.

How To Store Coins

Coins should be stored individually. Storing coins together, such as in a jar, can cause them to rub against one another and become scratched. As well as marking the coins, they will also tarnish each other. The most affordable way to store coins individually is by using paper envelopes. The envelopes should be made from acid-free paper. The acids in normal paper will discolour the coins over time. Acid-free 2" x 2" paper envelopes are available from coin shops. Better then paper envelopes is plastic is plastic flips or re-sealable plastic bags because these allow you to look at the coins without handling them. If you use plastic envelopes, make sure they are made from mylar or another plastic that does not contain PVC. PVC will discolour or damage the coins over time. Plastic envelopes designed for coin collectors can be purchased from coin shops. If the top of the envelope is open, not sealed, to allow the coin to be inserted, this is only suitable for temporar...
