We started in the stamp and coin business in 1971. Over the years we have helped build collections for beginners as well as serious advanced collectors looking for very scarce and difficult material. Many people start with Lincoln cents filling in a blue Whitman folder. As collections grow, interests often change. People may move to dollars, old copper large cents or perhaps coins from a country holding special meaning. Maybe you were in the Peace Corp in Panama or your family is from Thailand or you might have had a great vacation in Germany. These could all be starting points for a new collection. You’re buying a piece of history, miniature art representing the culture, lore and history of a country or region. There is an investment aspect as well as a sharing of the traditions, famous patriots, political figures, cultural events and other aspects national pride that are deemed worthy of commemorating. All in all coin collecting is a very satisfying hobby that offers fun, history and an investment in your future. You might be specializing in a particular coin or series, or just collecting what appeals to you at the moment (maybe coins with animals, or one coin from every country), or even trying to finish filling you coin album. Collecting is a fun activity that you can share with everyone in your family, in fact many family pass the family collection on from generation to generation. So why not get started or add to an already existing collection, have some fun!
