Coin Collecting : How to Start a Coin Collection

[ChowHallCommando]

Why are so many people against polishing and cleaning one's old coins? Does it really devalue the coin?

[younubedotnet]

@ChowHallCommando yes the old look gives it value sometimes

[mylesthompson100]

you talk to much with your hands



[numisexploder97]

if you like coin collecting check out my channel plz i dont have much veiwers cause im new to youtube...

[wheelandmotor]

Hi..

A couple questions....

Should I find a spesific coin and then get the rest from that year...

Or should I just pick a year....

If So...which years are the best??

Thanks (Im new to coin collecting)

[Flashdude37]

"THANKS"!

[bookwormaesthetcs]

Bad advice given at 2:28-29....NEVER REMOVE THOSE COINS FROM PLASTIC,and do not touch them with a cleaning cloth...That will destroy their value and make collectors lose interest.

[memphis6able]

1. NEVER clean your coins!! It kills the value.

2. China manufactures millions of counterfeit coins. Only buy from reputable dealers that are members of the American Numismatic Associate (ANA), the Professional Numismatist Guild (PNG) or other legitimate organizations.

3. Pawn shops and flea markets (Not all) are a great way to get ripped off with fake coins. Buyer beware.

4. Coins certified by NGC and PCGS are graded accurately and highly tradeable on the market.

[memphis6able]

@memphis6able Sorry. American Numismatic Association, not Associate.

[Whitevoice14]

I'm starting from scratch, lost my whole collection in 06

Hey I am new to this but already enjoying it! One question, is it better to buy directly from the mint or buy perfect 70 certified coins from a dealer?

[mrbass604]

0:11 he stuck out his tounge at me

[Joseapari]

you should never remove them from the plastick

[MrTheDominonator]

@Joseapari Really depends on what your goal is on coin collecting. For example, if you are buying some beautiful proof gold coins, sure, probably best not to remove them from the plastic- but if you intend on keeping them mainly for their aesthetic value, then you may do what you want. If you are simply holding the coins to secure wealth then definitely do not remove them from their casing as you play on selling the coin at a later stage.

Thumbs up if your mean :) iam random

[rhythm2007mc]

I know all the stuff about wearig gloves for handling coins, but is there a safe way to clean old coins that you collect if they are quite mucky or grubby. I ask this as when I was given some old coins when I was about 12 (in 1992), I told one of my teachers and he was a science teacher, he said he'll clean some for me, but I was not sure, I gave him 1 wich I had alot the same date and type and he put it in a chemical solution. Yes it made it shiney but I think it eat away a bit of like acid.

I got my 1865 3 cent nickel from a lady that wanted some flour... turned out to be 30 dollar flour for her. Also, thanks for the tips.

[bubbaking90]

i found a ninteen fourty three steel penny

[TRAVIESiTA108]

@bubbaking90

where did u find it

[pennysarecute2]

My dad got me into collecting coins, now it is out of control. You'd never know what you find in circulation. You can get lucky, and end up finding an 1864 Indian head cent forgotten in circulation.

[tigerboyX]

@pennysarecute2 I got a 1935 nickel as change. At frist I thought it was foreign until i saw united states. Turn out it's the buffola nickel.

[madedd02]

I collect Wood...Its very good hobby, will make fortune soon )))))))))

[coincrazed]

I found this vid very interesting. Thanks! I am a collector and have been collecting for a couple years, specializing in Dimes. I also manage my own coin collecting forum, Completecoinforums. Thanks!

[USACOINScom]

This is a good video for the beginning collector. Given its short 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the information is targeted to a few key points, including coin type collecting and coin display

[Soundexpert100]

Not only did it teach me history, but mathematics, pattern recognition, attention to detail and objective reasoning as well. There is so much more to say but in the end PCGS and NGC grading services have cornered the market on the universal determined value of your asset. You cannot enter the "beauty pageant" of actual coin value without a "banner" or grade from these established "Supreme Court of coinage justices" in the event of trading or liquidation.

[Soundexpert100]

If you are interested in the field of Numismatics, congratulations! it is a great hobby.If you are serious about building a collection for investment I suggest you fully educate yourself for your own security and protection. Personally I began as a five year old when a friend of my mother's handed down a well-worn Bluebook Guide to me, consequently, I set down my Mother Goose rhymes opened the book and was immediately aroused with passion and excitement!

[JOHNSderry]

hey im 12 years old and i have been collecting coins paper money stamps comics for the last 2 years and i have a good amount of them come look at them now in my videos.you should like them

[ellenpellenisking]

I have this coin at home that I would like to know from where it is. I don't understand the writing on it and can't see any year on it. It's gold and have a picture of a pot or an urn on one side and have writing all around the edges on the other side with an O in the middle. To me, it looks maybe indian or greek, but I'm no expert in this. I've googled it but can't find a match. Does anyone know where this coin come from, what it's called or anything about it? Please write back to me.

[JanAppeldorn151]

got a roll of buffalo nickels !

not so special in USA , but in Holland ...

[Razor7581]

Here's the thing about plastic & coins:

What you want to avoid are the plastic holders that contain PVC, which, nowadays, are hard to come by. Otherwise, plastic holders are just fine.

[Wolfvitacus]

I have half a roll of Large Cents from early 1800s, Half Cents, 2-Cent Coin, 3-Cent pieces, - For very old dates - quality isn't a problem with me. I have some MS-65s from the 30s up, but that's about as low as my dates go lol for the earlier high quality. I recommend Proof sets for beginner collectors. You can get a 1957 proof set off ebay for under $35 - Totally worth it

[millerboys31]

i hav a tare fox coin

[experthowto]

Wrong. An ANACS graded 1909 S VDB penny is worth much more when not encased by the ANACS grading company since their grading isn't as trusted as other companies such as NGC or PCGS. Or, take the 1956 proof set: Washington Quarter, Roosevelt Dime, Lincoln Penny, Jefferson Nickel, and Franklin Half Dollar. You might buy it for $60.00. But, you buy the half on its own for $40, the quarter for $20, dime $12, nickel $10, etc.. Breaking the package and selling them separately can make you a profit.

[stdspk]

I would feel much safer buying a key date coin in an ANACS holder than buying raw. ANACS has a strong reputation and is known for being able to detect counterfeits. PCGS and NGC may have a better reputation, ANACS isn't total garbage like your post suggests.

[0PaulVaughn0]

are you suggesting coins were born in plastic cases? Or that the mint places all it's coins directly into a plastic case? You're crazy.

[sharpie443]

I'm way to random in my collection. I collect anything silver. i collect world coins but I only have 2 full sets because i lose interest and find another nationality I like. The only ones I'm constantly looking for are Prussian coins and Imperial Russian coins.

[rhiordan88]

I collect coins and my uncle has one of the biggest coin collections in Australia

[TheZiar]

where or how do you get an indian head penny??

[rollingstones129]

you can usually find them at coin shop just ask the employee for some indian coins and they might have them

[jon204]

I HAVE A 1880 INDIAN HEAD PENNY

[Nosfeast]

@TheZiar I went to my local coin shop and bought 4 for my collection I paid $1.45 each for them though.

[allinpokerhand001]

@TheZiar

1. You can get VERY VERY lucky, and find them in change

2. Buy Them off E-Bay

3. If you have any relatives that collect, ask if they have any of them

I hope this helped.

[vidascool]

@TheZiar buy it



[allinpokerhand001]

@TheZiar

You can get them in rolls of pennies, or you can buy them from a coin dealer or Ebay

[mystrawberrylemonade]

Well I went to a local store and got two for 60 bucks in great condition.You can

get it for 4 bucks though.Anywhere that sells coins.

[HIGHSKOOLx123]

i just started collecting i have 2 coins and there both from te 1800's ones a 2 cent coin and ones a indian head penny

[JacobRudduck]

I'm a collector too. I Have a rather large collection, and I am looking to expand it more seriously..

[thecoincollective]

This is good advice. I've been a bit too erratic in my collection.

[Poonard]

how can you not though. I take the diverse road myself and it makes me happy because i leave one type on to another and so on and so forth. I have a lot more fun taking this road even though it might take more organization and timing. Plus, it helps me expand my knowledge and reach into coins. I only have a small collection for now but I feel I have a good sense of what and what not to do. Happy Collecting!

[Paymandie]

That's a good tip at the end because i've got some silver coins in plastic casings. Guess i'll have to transfer them too.

[sfdpiggy]

what is a good websit to see the value of coins?
