Coin collection is no longer a hobby for many individuals. Because of the extensive history attached to minting, and the increasing value of these products, it has become a way to collect, preserve, and create wealth. Armed with the right knowledge, anyone can become a coin collector and accumulate solid wealth simply through collection.
US produces two forms of coins or “active mints”: one for regular distribution and the other is used as a proof of the minting. While these two forms can be used in regular purchases, the latter type has limited quantity in existence. Because they are rare, they will slowly accumulate value and could be sold in the market for a very high price compared to its original value.
It is very easy to purchase rare products such as coins, but the real challenge is in determining if these are actually rare or simply an imitation. Being ripped off is always a possibility especially if you are not familiar with the industry. That is why it is important to learn how to differentiate a good collectible coin from imitations. A recognized method is on the coin’s “grading” which ranges from 1-70. A grade 70 means the coin is in perfect condition. The preferred coin grade by collectors ranges from 60-70.
Numismatics or the study of coins can be a great hobby, but can also become something of great intrinsic value. You can use your knowledge to acquire rare mints and sold to the market based on the demand and rarity. By collecting rare mints, you are creating wealth without any extra effort.
