Phnxwlf Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Welcome, Phnxwlf! So what made you start collecting coins? Christian I have always had a fascination with coins especially since I was a military brat and got to see many different coins from traveling, but I think what I really like is the adventure of coin collecting. There are so many different coins and so many possibilities that no matter how long you collect them for you will always learn something new. What or who got you started collecting? To those who have welcomed me to this forum Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 What or who got you started collecting? The mix of old (pre-1950) and shiny new coins in my change. And one time I noticed how our former 2 DM coins (I'm from Germany) had different guys on the "heads" sides ... The reason why I asked you is, many collectors start with something domestic and inexpensive, such as (for Americans) the State Quarters. In such a case I would usually recommend focusing on one's home turf and maybe going back in time from there. If you start with a bag (lot) of world coins that somebody gave you, for example, I think that "themes" are more interesting, e.g. birds, cars, flowers. As you already have coins from various parts of the world, that could be an option. But I would limit a collection to a country or group of countries. In my opinion, many people who collect or rather hoard anything that smells like a coin and tastes like a coin lose their interest soon.

Poke around here in the archives and you will find many ideas for collecting topics as well as many different ways to collect (thoughtfully, haphazard, hoarding, on the cheap, on the best and most expensive, whatever moves ya, and so on). Just about one of every type of collector is here and everyone enjoys their own approach. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
