Rare coins

[Anonymous No.54627299]

Does anyone here collect rare coins? I’ve decided this seems like a natural hobby for a finance nerd and want to get into it

[Anonymous No.54627491]

i bought some nazi coins on apmex. its kind of boring honestly. no one cares about it much. the price typically wont swing significantly anytime soon (based on rarity)

its cool the day they arrive but thats it imo

I like old, but common, European gold coins but I don't buy for any numismatic reasons normally these are a value buy. If not for immediate profit just get some books on coins and buy what you like.

Interesting, do you flip coins mainly then? I am looking for something more long term, more of a hobby that moves at autist speed where I can just collect a lot of cool coins and hand them down one day.

How do i even know these a rare, i know there a coin catalogues or something but if its really rare, are they even listed in there

collecting coins can be very fun. but be careful about subjective numismatic premiums though

if you are talking strictly american coins then the red book is a great valuation guide, niche ancient stuff is going to be way harder to get an accurate appraisal

They get graded, I’ve never looked at a coin catalogue I’m not going to lie, but I want to get into it. The stock market just isn’t old enough for good memorabilia that will last a long time, but antiquity coins are cheap enough I can get into collecting them

ive got a few coins
not particularly rare, just ones i like
got a nice antique shop in my city that sells them so i treat myself to one every now and then

how do you know they're not fake? you can probably order these thins from aliexpress for 0.01 per piece

Yeah, i've been collecting rare coins that don't get talked about often on biz. My current love interest is Pool Party (ticker: PARTY) because gambling is the next big thing and since i like to compulsively gamble this is just the coin for me

>hey goys, not only should you put all your funds into silver and gold so you minimize your profits and so you're not hedged against inflation and so you keep getting devalued into oblivion against bitcoin and ethereum, no, that's not good enough, what's even better if you do is to buy numismatics; rare coins with even less bullion value with mega premiums super hard to sell and get your money back from, especially after societal collapse where they'd be basically totally worthless

what is a rare coin? is a 1 oz 2022 reverse proof gold libertad a rare coin?

[Anonymous No.54630011]

>>54628664
That’s why you’ve got to get it graded. I personally think the history premium will outlast the precious metal premium at a certain point in societal development

>>54628771
I’m not trying to make a buck, I just think it’s a quality hobby for someone who likes money.

English people were living in squalor, getting deadly sick from throwing shit out their windows while pic rel was building the biggest global fucking empire in all of human history on his coin identifying hobby

The elite don't lose their money in "financial collapse," and can continue to chuck it at their frivolous hobbies. Coins are the collections of Kings is a saying for a reason.

I have a couole Columbus coins.

I bought a silver denarius that was minted in Tyre, Galilee by King Herod in 20 AD. Mainly because it was so cheap and I wanted something that maybe possibly was on the money changer tables in the temple when Jesus kicked them over

I did not know Rothschild collected coins. Thank you anon, that is extremely interesting

[Anonymous No.54631395]

>>54627299
yep, just picked up some uncirculated stuff last week

[Anonymous No.54631433]

>>54627299
The hobby of kings. Personally I tend to buy cheaper coins because I don’t trust high value collectibles to hold value. That said, you can find plenty of amazing historic gold and silver coins close to spot. There’s cool coppers too.

Furthermore, the only identifiable hobby that Theodore Kaczynski had was numismatics. Out of his

Whoops, out of his dozens of books, he had two on ancient coin identification: one on mideval coins, the other on Roman.

Lmao. Play a sport, work on cars, build stuff, knit something, play an instrument, play chess or go. Calling buying stuff a "hobby" is pure cope.

Not rare, but I covet one so badly. Libertads are quite possibly the perfect coin.

[Anonymous No.54631806]

I have a few, but none I'd call seriously 'rare'. I even have some 400 year old ones, but you can still go online and get one just like it. Like Rhodesian pound bro above, I have a set of them too. Some slabbed and graded, some raw.

There’s a lot to learn, it can definitely be a hobby. I’ve found myself branching off into learning about antiquity in my free time lately, and combining that with collecting coins of the places I’m learning about makes sense to me.

You have to walk from your car to the entrance of a coin show, basically exercise.

I literally don’t see a single thread about coins in that board

[Anonymous No.54633124]

Only those with a gold or silver content

[Anonymous No.54633895]

I had a bunch before but like most cool things I own it was stolen from me at some point.

[Anonymous No.54634104]

>>54627598
Sorry for replying hours later but no I just hold them as an alternative to cash, no intent to sell unless an emergency. Most I am about even on now or a little ahead if I were to sell to an exchange but it's not much money and I like flexing on Gen X'ers that don't have any gold as my 3ish oz's seems large then. Anything gold or silver, even Numismatic plays graded or not should hold value and be able to be passed down. The real bitch of it is finding an heir that won't immediately pawn an entire treasure trove for a fraction of it's actual value.

PMG will have some overlap but naturally just on the precious metals side and less so the ancient coins but most there still appreciate interesting specimens.

Man it's like a drug habit. You wind up dealing to pay for your own stash.

I collect rare coins. I also buy and sell those same coins to pay for my collection and to make sure I always have the very best coins.

[Anonymous No.54635359]

>>54627299
Yeah but you have to buy them from places outside of USA and UK in bulk because it`s cheaper, by doing that you will
1. Erase the amount of available coins
2. It`s cheap and you will have funny coins

I found a russian gold coin made for 350 years Peter the great if you want a beautiful and expensive coin
An UK coin from the jubilee and death of the Queen will have more value in the future

There`s techniques to store them btw
I`m a thirdie and i spend 100 per month

[Anonymous No.54636498]

I collect ancients. There are no price guides for really old stuff so you can sometimes get nice deals at auction. They look much better than modern coins as well.

How do you store them? I’m probably overly worried but they’re so old I’m concerned about not storing them properly and having them degrade
