Why Collect Coins?
Coin collecting offers more than just a rewarding hobby; it connects you with history, culture, and hidden wealth.
Each coin you hold has passed through countless hands, telling a story that spans generations!
Coins can be valuable for different reasons. Some derive value from their underlying metal, like gold and silver coins, whose worth fluctuates with market prices. Others are valuable due to their rarity, historical significance, or unique features—like the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent or the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle.
Coin collecting isn’t just for experts. It’s for anyone who enjoys learning, preserving history, and finding value in the unexpected. Many collectors start with a single coin and soon discover rare pieces, watching their collections grow into valuable assets. In the past, we have seen that a well-curated collection have appreciated significantly in value. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to share history with future generation!
Types of Coins to Collect
Ancient and Shipwreck Coins
For the adventurous at heart, consider diving into ancient coins or even coins recovered from shipwrecks. Imagine owning a coin that circulated in the Roman Empire or one that lay on the ocean floor for centuries. These coins are not just collectibles; they’re relics that have survived the passage of time, telling stories of empires, trade routes, and forgotten civilizations.
Classic U.S. Coins
Start your journey with classic U.S. coins, like the Indian Head Penny, Buffalo Nickel, or Morgan Silver Dollar. These coins aren’t just old pieces of metal; they’re artifacts from America’s past, representing different eras of history. Each one holds a piece of the nation’s story, making them fascinating to collect and valuable to own.
Collectible Licensed Coins
If you’re a fan of comics, movies, or pop culture, collectible licensed coins might be your perfect starting point. Imagine owning a coin that features your favorite superhero, character, or iconic scene. These coins, like the COMIX series, blend entertainment with numismatics, turning your passion for pop culture into a valuable collection. They’re not just fun to collect—they’re pieces of art that celebrate the stories and characters you love.
Modern Rare Coins
If you’re interested in modern coins, the American Silver Eagle is a must-have. Introduced in 1986, this coin is a favorite among both collectors and investors due to its silver content and iconic design. It’s a modern classic that can easily grow in value over time, making it a smart addition to any collection

FAQ
As a beginner coin collector, starting with widely available and affordable coins can help you build a solid foundation. One good starting point is Lincoln Wheat Pennies, minted from 1909 to 1958, which are relatively inexpensive and provide a rich history. Jefferson Nickels, particularly those from the World War II era containing silver, are also a great choice due to their affordability and historical significance.
State Quarters, issued from 1999 to 2008, offer an enjoyable way to collect coins from each U.S. state. Roosevelt Dimes, especially silver ones minted before 1965, are another accessible and valuable option. Additionally, Kennedy Half Dollars, particularly those minted before 1971 with silver content, are popular among collectors. Starting with these coins allows you to learn about different aspects of coin collecting, including coin grading and historical context, while gradually expanding your collection as you gain more experience.
Popular rare coins include the 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln Penny, Liberty Head Nickel, and Certified American Silver Eagle.
