Coin Collecting Can Be Fun—5 Tips To Care for Your Coins

 

Attention all future Numismatic Coin Collectors do you know that coin collecting is both interesting and rewarding. For one thing, it can easily become a good investment with a great payoff.

And for another, even if your motive for collecting coins is not purely monetary, the truth still remains that considering their meticulous and beautiful craftsmanship, gold and silver coins are a joy to own. Owning one is like owning an interesting piece of culture. So any serious collector of Gold and Silver coins sees it as more than just financial investment.

Regardless of your motive for collecting coins however, there are steps you can take to preserve the value of your precious metals—your collection of Gold and Silver coins:

Even before storing, make sure that your coins are clean. Even then, be very choosy of what you use to clean your coins. Experts recommend the use of latex gloves along with solvents such as vinegar or lemon juice. And most importantly, no matter what you use in cleaning, clean less often.

Always protect your coins from moisture. This can generally be achieved by storing them in a locked box or cabinet to prevent exposure to destructive elements. Sealed plastic cases are best for your most valuable coins as these will prevent them from mistakenly being scratched during storage.

Handle them around the edges. Also bear in mind that gold and silver coins require special handling. Even barely detectable dirt or sweat from your skin can gradually damage the fine finishing of your coin over a period of time. So will mistakenly dropping them on surfaces. So while handling, I is recommended that you place a soft cloth beneath the area you are handling your coins, just in case it drops. This will prevent your coin from being scratched.

Invest in coin albums. This is perhaps the best way of protecting your coins from dust as well as from friction. And try and buy the albums made only for coin storage—not just any album. Otherwise the inner surfaces could still leave fine scratches on your gold or silver coins. And over time these friction can constitute significant wear and tear on your collection.

Avoid the temptation to constantly clean your coin—as if glitter determines the value. The truth is that despite your best efforts, occasional exposure to air will still cause your precious metals to oxidize, and thus change color (they are metals after all!). Avoid the temptation to rub and clean each time this happens.

Avoid cleaning your coins as much as possible because cleaning will gradually damage the finish. Experience shows that most coin collectors find a coin's original appearance preferable—even if the color has been altered somewhat. Even wiping your coins with soft cloth (if done too often) will gradually cause small scratches that may not be visible to the naked eye. So generally, your coin collectible coins actually have greater value if you avoid handling them too frequently.

As a coin collector, maintaining your collectible coins should be a top priority to you. after all, what the purpose of collecting coins if the traits that made them attractive yesterday are gone too soon due to poor handling. Obviously the last thing you want to do is to knowingly or unknowingly devalue your collection. If you are guided by tips discussed here, that may never happen to your coins.

Coins of Japan $36.28 This is the great classic work "Coins of Japan," the authoritative source that is cited by everybody else. This book is being reprinted because it is almost impossible to obtain. Many libraries who claim to have it turn out not to have it. There is only one for sale on the Internet. The price is $995 and it will not last long. One reviewer writes: "This is the best reference book on Japanese cash coins ever published. Although it has been over 100 years since its publication, nothing comes even close to it, not even the works written in Japanese. Munro's book is very readable. This is a tough book to put down once you get into it. I just cannot imagine a collector of Japanese cash coins not owning this book."

Coins can teach many aspects about the past, they can also cultivate the imagination, and who knows where that could lead.

A Walking Cliche Coins a Phrase $16.66 A Walking Cliche Coins a Phrase is an utterly unique book of poems. Despite the subtitle, this is a book of poems, filled with true wit (strange things go on in this mans head ), strong music, a stone blind love (the only kind of love that matters) of language, and a wild, wild heart. Thomas Lux, author of God Particles The road to psychic wholeness, Chad Prevost asks, is to bury oneself in sweetness like a bee making Heaven in a fallen pear? In these marvelously inventive prose poems, Prevost does just that, chronicling the journey of a man facing the false dichotomy of a world that pits spirit against flesh, what is risen against what has fallen. Like Mircea Eliades The Sacred and the Profane, Prevost locates a new site for the sacred that refuses either pole of a suffocating binary, choosing a reciprocity of the spiritual and mundane. These poems are guided by the healing power of attentionto family, culture, and especially the quirks and curves that guide us crookedly home. We experience a questioning speaker raised by a pastor father; a young man who worships Led Zeppelins Robert Plant; an adult who realizes he is just visiting this planet, proclaiming Wherever you go there you are; and a husband who compares a birthmark on the buttock of the beloved to the shape of Venezuela or Mongolia, concluding that there is the history the world knows and the one forever hidden from view. It is this secret/sacred sight that treats everything with tenderness and care, particularly the profundity of love. Be wary of the thing you love, Prevost says. Tread lightly, with the deference of one approaching a god. Chad Prevost has written a powerful and deeply humane book of prose poems thatmerges the imaginative possibilities of the poem with the day-to-day paragraphs of our lives. George Kalamaras, author of Gold, Carp, Jack, Fruit, Mirrors

Illustrated Catalog of Chinese Coins, Vol. 2 $29.9 Eduard Kann (1880-1962) was more than just a coin collector. He was an official of the Chinese Government, who ran the Chinese monetary system for decades. Kann managed to get out of China just before Mao took over in 1949. He then lived in Hong Kong and Los Angeles. This catalog is a classic work essentially of his own coin collection, including coins he collected while working as a banker and as an official of the Chinese Government in Shanghai. Some of these coins are extremely rare and a few may not even exist any more, because the Chinese Government ordered all coins to be surrendered to the government to be melted down and made into bullion. Thus, any Chinese person who held on to these coins, did so in secret. Kann, as a non-Chinese, was one of the few that was allowed to keep his coins. When, after his death, his coin collection was sold in several auctions, they fetched millions of dollars. The New York Times for May 23, 1971, page D37, reports: Among the items listed to go on the block are 1200 lots from the finest collection of Chinese coins - the collection of Eduard Kann, a banker who lived in China for 47 years. During his long numismatic career, Mr. Kann compiled the Catalog of Chinese Coins which was published in 1954. This high quality reprint of the original 1953 book is based on one of the few copies of the original work still known to exist.
