Coin collecting - Which Coins to Collect ?

Sure, you could rush out to the nearest coin dealer and fork over a bunch of cash for the first shiny coin you see

. But we recommend getting familiar with what's out there first. Maybe Ancient Greek or Ancient Roman coins or other coins from the biblical period suit your fancy. Maybe you're blown away by coins from the Byzantine Empire or mowed down by medieval European coins. There are unlimited choices in just these areas alone.

On the other hand, maybe you're more interested in modern U.S. coins. If so, you're not alone. The U.S. Mint has sold coins to 130 million people in the past few years. That's a lot of collectors, so you can count on meeting all kinds of new people and making friends as you build your U.S. coin collection.

Maybe you're more interested in collecting coins from around the world than you are in sticking with the red, white, and blue. You can collect by country, by denomination, by date, by size, or by topic. Coins go in and out of style, too maybe not as fast as brands of blue jeans, but there are trends in coin collecting, and as a collector, you should be aware of them.

Finally, even though you may not think of the word wild when you think of coin collecting, trust us: Numismatics has a definite wild side. If you fancy yourself a bit of a rebel, or you like to tread the road less traveled, all those rare, expensive, odd, and curious forms of money may be just right for you.
