How to Shake the Winter Blues with Coin Collecting
Why do some folks dislike the winter time with such a hatred? Is it the snow, the cold, the slippery sidewalks, or is it something else they truly hate, and that is getting the winter blues because they always think there's nothing to do. I have always loved the winter time, from when I was a kid to my present age, I don't care much for the cost of the rising heat bill each year, but as far as the beauty of the winter scenery, I think it's wonderful, truly a gift from God.
When you find yourself with nothing to do during them cold winter months, why not take up a great hobby like coin collecting, it's not only fun, it's also a great way to shake the winter blues. Now, since you are new or a beginner to coin collecting, and this is going to be done as a hobby to help shake the winter blues, I will be talking about the basics and how to enjoy coin collecting for very little money. The first thing to do, is to think about what types of coins you want to start collecting.
One of the nicest and cheapest ways to start collecting coins is by buying a coin folder, the ones that have pre-cut holes for the coins, you simply place the appropriate coin into it's respected slot or position in the album. You should start with a type of coin that is easy to find, and not super expensive to buy when it comes to the scarcer ones. I started by collecting Lincoln pennies, they were first minted or made in 1909 and are still made today, next I started collecting Jefferson Nickels.
The best thing about collecting pennies or nickels, or dimes is that, you can start filling in them empty spots in your folders, today at no cost. The easiest method to start collecting your coins is to search through your jars of change at home, and by checking the change in your pockets at the end of the day. The next way to acquire some more coins for your folders is to buy rolls from banks, then replace the coins you removed, with the change in your jars, turn these rolls in for more coins at another bank, and keep repeating the process.
After awhile you will be getting down to where you will not be able to find the coins you need to complete your folders with, in your change or from banks, because of their age and rarity. You may then want to join an online coin club, there are many reputable ones that offer coins on an approval service. They will send you certain coins once a month, and you simply select the ones you want to buy and keep, and the ones you don't want you just mail back to the company. What makes these monthly approval services great is, you can select the types of coins you wish to receive monthly, and the price you are willing to spend.
I still find wheat pennies and silver war nickels, and many pre 1960 nickels, and sometimes a silver coin in pocket change. A few years back, I was at a local store and got some change back, I noticed two of the quarters I received looked kind of white in color, examining them closely after I got back home, I discovered they were both pre 1964 silver Washington quarters. I figured somebody must of needed money to buy some cigarettes or milk or something, and must of used some of their old coins, I was just lucky enough to had been there at the right time and place to get them in my change.
After collecting coins for fun over the years, I now have almost every Lincoln cent that was made from 1909 to present, and I have every Jefferson nickel from the first one that was made in 1938 to present, and I have a nice sized wooden chest full of miscellaneous U.S. coins, including silver dollars, mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, Large Cents and many more unique and rare coins. I figure the coins will make a nice gift someday, something to leave to my daughter or as a gift for my Grandchildren. The next time, you find yourself with nothing to do in the winter, starting looking through your change, and enjoy the wonderful hobby of coin collecting, it's a great way to help shake the winter blues.
