Learn To Have Fun With What You Do!
I've been collecting things through out the years: toys, video games,
movies but nothing compares to the joy of coin collecting. Everyone who
has started a collection of some kind understands the passion and
excitement of the product that is in their possession.While I was talking to
collectors at the coin show, I came up with four basic concepts that I
am using and could help you on the journey in the world of coin
collecting.
Eye Appeal
This is what catches
your eye at first glance. It's the "wow-factor" you go towards when you
first view an item. "Why" do you like that particular coin or bar?
What was it that may you want it? Only buy what is appealing to you
because you are the one who has to look at it.
By In Sets
So you're probably
thinking like I first thought: "Why should I buy a set of the same
coins?" The answer if very simple: "Value". Obtaining a set of
"something" is more valuable than having one piece. Example: Raggedy
Ann and...Andy. If you had both dolls in mint condition, then you have
something of "value". Do you think someone will offer you the same
price for only one doll? So a set American Silver Eagles or Lunar coins
from the Perth Mint are very valuable in the collectible market. Take a
look at this video to see how much a set of Eagles is worth from
1986-2011.Stay Consistent
Make sure you collect
with consistency! "What does that mean?" Consistency is the most
powerful key here. Stay consistent with the grade of each coin you
collect. If you purchase Franklin, Wheat Penny's, Morgans or Eagles at a
particular grade, make sure the next coin in the series is the same
grade. This goes back to having the eye appeal in your collection to
enjoy and could make your collection more valuable. I rest my case...
Have Fun
And did I forget to
mention to have FUN? This hobby should not prevent you from smiling or
being friendly anymore! This is a hobby for you to enjoy and share the
unique history of each item with others. If you're not having fun
collecting, then it becomes a job and you will lose interest.
