The hobby of coin collecting can be challenging and exciting for those who wish to undertake it. Although coin shops today can be a little intimidating, and you can quickly become overwhelmed by the size and scope of coin collecting, we hope to guide you into this intriguing and sometimes valuable hobby.
Coins have several different values that we should define before we start. The first value is what is referred to as the face value and what is stamped directly on the front of the coinage. An example would be quarters (25 cents), dime (10 cents), and a penny (1 cent).
The second value is the precious metal value of the coin. For instance pre-1965 dimes, quarters, and nickels actually have a high content of silver. The use of silver was discontinued in this coinage because the cost of the metal rose to the point that the metal content of the coin was worth more than the face value. Many of us can remember the same thing happening to the price of copper and the changing of the metal content in a penny to compensate for the rising cost of the precious metal in 1982.
The third type of value is referred to the numismatic value or the collectors' value. This value is different from the face or metal value in that it is derived by a coins uniqueness and value to other coin collectors. Some examples of these types of coins are the Buffalo Head nickel and the Liberty Head Nickel.
The first place to start on your journey of coin collecting is right in your pocket. That pocket change from the vending machine or left over from grabbing your morning coffee can be the perfect entrance into this hobby. Although coins might have a high numismatic or metal value they still may be in circulation at their face value and just waiting for you to find them and add them to your collection!
The purchase of a coin guide from your local coin shop or book store can help you start identifying which coins are worth keeping and which ones are better to use at face value. Start small with pennies and quarters and then work your way up. Your number one asset will be your diligence in checking coins as they come into your possession.
Once you are comfortable you can then take the next step into precious metal coinage such as the American Silver Eagle and Gold American Eagle. The cost of these coins actually fluctuates with the cost of the precious metals as they are minted 99.99% pure by the U.S. Mint.
Hopefully this has helped get you started and enjoying the hobby of coin collecting. Remember keep your eyes open as you never know when that Buffalo Head Nickel might cross your path!

The Flying Eagle was too difficult to strike because of the high relief and was replaced in 1859 by the Indian Head Cent.

13 Cent Killers $16.44 “It’s not easy to stay alive with a $1,000 bounty on your head.”In 1967, a bullet cost thirteen cents, and no one gave Uncle Sam a bigger bang for his buck than the 5th Marine Regiment Sniper Platoon. So feared were these lethal marksmen that the Viet Cong offered huge rewards for killing them. Now noted Vietnam author John J. Culbertson, a former 5th Marine sniper himself, presents the riveting true stories of young Americans who fought with bolt rifles and bounties on their heads during the fiercest combat of the war,from 1967 through the desperate Tet battle for Hue in early’68.In spotter/shooter pairs, sniper teams accompanied battle-hardened Marine rifle companies like the 2/5 on patrols and combat missions. Whether fighting their way out of a Viet Cong“kill zone” or battling superior numbers of NVA crack troops, the sniper teams were at the cutting edge in the art of jungle warfare, showing the patience, stealth, combat marksmanship, and raw courage that made the unit the most decorated regimental sniper platoon in the Vietnam War. Harrowing and unforgettable, these accounts pay tribute to the heroes who made the greatest sacrifice of all–and leave no doubt that among 5th Marine snipers uncommon valor was truly a common virtue. |
