Help.! How About Showing Your Coin Collection?

i think I would collect any coins that are eye appealing to me, I think I would not consider its metal content, just the artistic side, the beauty of it.

How to begin a collection? It sounds like you've already done that.
If you like it - then collect it.

As far as storage goes...


I think if you are looking at higher dollar coins, you may want to look at something like the hard plastic holders.

I personally collect world coins, so the 2x2s in a 20 pocket page is the best bet for me. You can put info about the coin on the 2x2. If this is the route you want to go, then check ebay. There are some 20 pocket pages that go for a dollar or so per page. There are some that go for $12 for 100 pages. Obviously a difference in quality.

Assuming you are not damaging the coin, there is also something to be said for touching and seeing a coin without any cover over it. It all depends on personal preference and what you like.

Don't get caught up in "Real coin collectors do this or that..."

Almost all new coin collectors ask those questions. Somewhere there should be a permanent post where everyone can add their 2 CENTS on how to store, collect, etc.
My advise is to first get familiar with the different coins you many be interested in. Find out if there are any coin shows, coin stores, hobby stores that carry coins in your area. Go there with the intent of learning, not buying until you know what you want. Never get stuck in the rut of investing, only keep it as a hobby. That way it will always be fun regardless of what it costs. Look for those 2x2 flips. By the way they also come in 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch sizes which if you go to a coin show you'll notice most dealers have gone to those. (Cheapskates). Just kidding. They fit in their display cases better.
Now here is what I suggest as a starter. Go to a bank and buy a $50 bag of cents (pennies) and look through them for different dates, mint marks and errors. You may want to check out the coppercoins.com web site. You can do the same with nickels, dimes, etc. Then return the ones you don't want to another bank. Most banks don't like people that take them out and only to return them.
Great hobby, have fun and never take it to seriously.
