Coin Buying 101
The Origin of Coins and Coin Collecting The hobby of coin collecting began nearly as
soon as the first coins were minted in Asia Minor, around 650 B.C.

The history of gold coins dates as far back as 2,700 years ago. The first gold coins
in the world were issued in Lydia around 640 B.C. certain internet websites will
provide you with a lot of information about the history of gold coins.

Gold coins are a favorite of coin collectors with an eye toward investment.

How would you feel if you knew that you had handed over a penny worth $2,000 or more
as change for a dollar?

Avoid touching the coin unnecessarily, as dirt and grease from your fingers will
tarnish the finish over time. Exposure to air oxidizes metal, changing its colour.
Many collect coins to commemorate great events in their lives, a child\'s graduation,
a new baby.or to mark historical events such as the Queen\'s Golden Jubilee.

Some people happily collect more common everyday coins, going through their pockets
at the end of the day for them is fun, checking dates and mintmarks on their change.
Some collectors can spend thousands of dollars on rare silver and gold coins from
the 1800\'s and early 1900\'s. Some collect coins from different countries.

Commemorative coins are a popular form of collection, as are rare minted coins like
those which had an error in their stamping. If a certain set of coins doesn't
interest you, it won't be any fun at all to become a collector.

Coin dealers will also be more likely to recognize a counterfeit coin, have a higher
chance of hearing about the sale of the specific rare coins that interest you, and
will recognize an asking price that is over- or undervalued. As an investor, these
are all critically important points for your success.
