Coin collecting tips?

Posted by admin under coin collecting

I want to start collecting coins, what should I buy to keep them in? I have a few already but they are in a tupperware container lol.

Also any tips you can give me?

(also what’s the coolest coin you have? =) )

Thanks!
All of the chinese zodiac coins are beautiful!

To see just what is available in U.S coin albums and holders go to www.brooklyngallery.com they are a large dealer in coin and stamp supplies. See what you like and can afford. As for interesting coins I have a lot for I collect historical coins. One of my favorites is my Fugio cent the first coin issued by authority of the United States. I also like my ancient Chinese coins. I have more than one favorite coins.

I haven’t seen any places that pay for gold at market prices or close to it. I was wondering if a place like that exists? Also, if it’s not in oz bars is there any way to get close to market price for 24K gold jewelry?

It IS possible to sell gold close to market prices if you do your homework first and understand what your gold is worth. Personally, I’ve sold gold at or above spot on Ebay. I’ve also found buyers at my local flea markets that will pay spot or close to it. If you don’t sell on Ebay or visit flea markets, a reputable refinery may be your next best bet for selling your gold. If you’d like more in-depth information, I’ve recently launched a new website educating people about selling their gold and how to receive a fair price for it. It covers topics such as testing, weighing, and pricing gold, where to sell it, when to sell it and what NOT to sell. It also covers gold coins, gold teeth, scrap silver, platinum, diamonds and gemstones. Also gold market reports. http://www.how-to-sell-your-gold.com. I notice from reading a lot blogs and forums that people don’t know how to go about selling their gold, and that’s why I created it!

I know it won’t be much, but every little helps I suppose. I’m in the UK and have looked online but can’t see how to go about it, so any help is appreciated.

There be a difference,.between coin collecting,..And,..a donation. I am thinking you are referring to
collecting nickels and dimes for donations - - for the Haitian people,..? This be the one of which
you refers,..Not,..coin collecting,.?

Then,..seek out people that have contributed,..Let them know that you are planning to do a yo-
uths contribution,..That you and some of your age group are planning to Collect some money,..and,..donate same as your group’s contribution,..

You will get help from them,,..and,..they will show to you how you may set the collection up,..

No. All of our coins and paper money are in effect merely tokens.

We all now rely upon something called a "fiat" currency system, which means we trust that the paper money we have is backed by stores of precious metals held by our central banks (such as stocks of gold held in Fort Knox or in the Bank of England). If you look at a UK note you will see it has the words on it "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of X pounds". This means that theoretically you can take it to the Bank of England and they will give you its equivalent in gold in exchange. These days that is just a theory, though!

If there is a shortage of a particular denomination, say five pound notes, the issuing authority simply prints some more.

It has been quite a long time since anybody actually checked to see if the total value of all the notes and coins circulating actually was backed up by valuable metals in a vault, and I think if anyone tried to do it they might get a nasty shock. But since nobody actually does try to do it, we are all OK. Aren’t we?

You may want to use the current actual price of gold, which is available in the business section of many news papers or on the World Wide Web.

It kind of depends on how much real gold is in the class ring - which you don’t state. Most class rings are mostly made of more inexpensive materials - there might be a little real gold, but not much.

I am against it and here is my reason the wealthiest 30% of Americans pay 90% of the taxes 49% of all Americans pay no income taxes when does it become fair when they pay 100% of all taxes I have had many jobs but I have never gotten one from the poor or the 49% Americans that pay no income tax, if taken more tax money from the rich is the solution,consequently if we took all of it away from the rich wouldn’t our economic problems be solved.

If taxing the wealthy more is fair then if you take a train, bus, airplane, go to grocery store or have a mortgage shouldn’t you have to pay a higher percentage of your income because you are wealthy if it works for taxes shouldn’t work for every faucet of our city?…comments
Come one liberals try and do a little better job in answering show everyone that the brain cells are firing.
I have never read so much nonsensical answer in my life so the people that makes the most have most of the power…isnt that life? So some of you want the government to take more of the wealthy income ….if so where would be the incentive to become wealthy if someone confiscates it….I suspect this is what our public school is producing.
TAT and a couple are a few that understands basic economic principles some of you seems to have went to the Obama school of economics.
Dirk D Americans like you frighten me try and put yourself in that position if you are going to take 90% of my stuff what would be the reason for me to have any stuff again?

Everyone should pay the same percentage of their income. It is asinine that the top ten percent of wage earners pay seventy percent of all taxes and the bottom forty pay none. Furthermore, the bottom forty get more govt services including daycare, food stamps, college education, cell phones, transportation vouchers, and housing assistance. If we want to create jobs, we let those who have the money continue to invest and create jobs. Those who want money can work hard, make wise choices, and join the ranks of the rich
