We live in a stressful society. One stress reliever is the acquisition of a hobby. Out of the many hobbies, one is starting some type of collection. And an old object of collecting is coins. So how does one go about initiating a coin collection? Here are a few several simple suggestions.
Begin with coins that are currently in circulation. Unless you are into spending a lot of money, the easiest, and most fun, coins to collect are the ones you see every day. Lincoln cents were introduced in 1909 with the wheat ear reverse. The reverse design was changed to the Lincoln Memorial in 1959 and in 2009 four poses of Lincoln celebrated his 200th birthday. This year (2010) saw the introduction of a shield shape on the backside. There are still many of the Lincoln Memorial version in circulation and are relatively easy to collect. The Jefferson nickel was first minted in 1938 and had undergone little change until recent years. Roosevelt dimes were first seen in 1946, with the most major change being from silver to the clad coin in 1964. Washington quarters underwent the same change. The more recent statehood quarters and the subsequent state parks also make for interesting collecting. All of these are good places to start building a collection.
Collect pocket change. Use bills to make cash purchases and pocket the change. If you work where cash changes hands, as in retail business, watch for collectibles as you are permitted or able to do so. (If you find any, be sure to purchase or replace them.) Encourage family members to save their coins, also.
Check out every coin when you have a chance. You might throw your change in a jar and spend one evening a week or so to look at it. Look at dates, mint marks and condition of the coins. If you find old coins, put them in a keeper place, even if they are not some of the ones you are collecting. You may occasionally see wheat ear pennies, older nickels or silver coins (minted up until 1964).
Trade duplicate coins with friends for their duplicates. You can help each to build your collection.
Read up on the varieties of the coins you collect. There are variations in date size, mint mark and composition. Sometimes these change within a year, so you may have "large date" and "small date" varieties, or differences in weight. The 1982 penny is a good example with at least seven varieties. You can also look for misprints.
Find a way to store and/or display your coins with coin folders, tubes or individual packaging.
Collecting is fun and stress relieving. And it can be rewarding when you find discover some coins of value.
