Coin collecting has been referenced as The Hobby of Kings. Those who collect coins are known as Numismatic Collectors. The word Numismatic comes from the Latin Word, Numisma, meaning Coin. The term Numismatist is used to describe a person who studies the history and beauty of coins and other forms of currency. There is a difference between an avid Numismatist and an average Coin Collector.

An avid Numismatist greatly appreciates the studies of coins as to their history¸ usage and artistry. Not all of these people feel the need to be a collector; they just enjoy the subject of the coin itself. On the other hand a Collector is just the opposite, they look to collect but they know little about the coins that they are collecting. Some are both.

Back in the Middle Ages you had to be wealthy if you were going to collect coins. Most of these collectors were either Kings or Nobles and because of this fact Coin Collecting became known as the Hobby of Kings. In this day and age anyone can collect coins and be a part of the hobby of kings.

By studying the history of the coin you can get a better understanding of what was taking place during that period of time. Coin collecting is considered to be a great way for parents to teach children about the value of obtaining tangible assets, but it can also make history and art come alive in the minds of small children.

You see, each coin was designed by a notable artist, engraver or sculpture of the day of its issue and is considered to be a work of art. The American Silver Eagle was designed by Adolf A.Weinman, for instance. This design first appeared on the 1916 half dollar.

There are at least three categories of coin collectors, those who collect old coins which date back to the Roman and Greek times through the Middle Ages, those who collect coins from around the world and those who collect US Type Coins. US Type coins are divided into two categories...the older coins dating back to the beginning of our Country until 1982 and the Modern Issue Coins which include every year thereafter. The big boom in the Modern Issue coins began with the introduction of the 1985 Silver American Eagle coin.

There is a distinction between the value of Bullion coins and Numismatic Coins. Bullion coins are valued for the content of Silver and a couple of dollars extra to cover the minting costs. To determine the value simply check the Spot Price of Silver and add about three dollars to it and there you have it. Numismatic coins, on the other hand, are not solely tied to the Spot Price of Silver but have a value that is based upon all things previously discussed as well as their condition.

In 1949 Dr. William Sheldon developed a system of grading coins which has become known as The Sheldon Scale and it goes from 1 to 70 points. There is no score higher than a 70. (This score is like getting 100% plus all of the extra credit points on a test paper.) This grading system is used today in all coin grading. Mint State 70 (MS-70) indicates that there are no flaws, no scratches or bag marks. They are perfect and as such are rare and will cost more. Only 10% of all coins graded will grade as a MS-70.

Only Third Party Professional Graders have the knowledge, experience and equipment to determine a Mint State 70 coin. Once the coin is determined to be of this high quality (or graded) it is encapsulated in a hard plastic slab, which is sonically sealed to protect the coin from damage from things such as: finger prints, body oils, scratches, discoloration and tampering.

There are only four top tier Third Party grading companies recognized in the Numismatic Industry today ANACS, NGC, PCGS and ICG and it is recommended that you only purchased coins that have been graded by one of these services to ensure that you have not purchased counterfeit coins or coins that have not been graded properly.
