Around 60 Years experience
in coin collecting:
Sold newspapers at a very busy intersection all through the 1950s. Became
obsessed with collecting coins at a very young age. A newspaper in those
days sold for a nickel. (5 cents) The very first coin to spark my interest
was a Buffalo Nickel. There is a Buffalo on one side of the coin, and
an Indian on the other side of the coin. Being a kid, this was a very
exciting discovery.
Cigar Boxes Full of
Coins:
It was not long before I had a wooden cigar box full of Buffalo Nickels.
Another box of Indian Head Pennies. The coin collecting obsession grew
every year. Pennies became my favorite because it was less costly to keep
saving them.
Keep coins collections
in a safe place:
My coin collection is sitting in a bank safe deposit box.
Someone worked hard
to build that collection:
Today a newspaper costs what a dollar? Or maybe $1.25?
Being a kid selling newspapers for a nickel if you think about it a little
bit ~ wasn't that kind of like a dollar today or maybe $1.25? I want you
to fully understand that when someone built a coin collection in those
days, nickels were like a dollar these days. Quarters were like a 5 dollar
bill.
Evaluating a coin
collection:
If you read the above short story you should begin to understand
how much someone needed to sacrifice to collect those coins. They may
have gone without something to collect that coin you are looking at. If
they collected it maybe there was an underlying reason. They liked the
animal on the coin. It was the year someone was born. Maybe it was a very
low mintage coin?
Low mintage coins:
The less of a particular coin that was minted the more
it usually is worth in later years. It is important to know how many were
minted of each coin in your collection.
Grading of the coin:
Attempting to sell coins can be challenging. Comments about
the grade of every coin will soon be coming from a potential buyer.
