Introduction
A coin collecting hobby is the practice of collecting or trading old or legally minted coins. Most collectible coins have been in circulation for a short time, for example, historically interesting coins or error coins. Although the term ‘numismatics’ refers to the study of currency, it is closely related to coin collecting.
A coin collector is a person who mainly collects coins as a hobby or for investment purposes. Coin collectors are also known as numismatists which term, in a technical sense, refers to a person who not only collects but also studies coins and other currencies such as paper money, as well as tokens and medallions. Therefore, a numismatist may be a hobbyist, a serious collector, a dealer, or a scholar who studies coins as part of a sociology or history project for example.
During the medieval ages, coin collecting was confined to the nobility, such as popes and kings, as well as royal family members, as they were the only people who could afford to collect coins. According to coin collecting history, the first known collector of coins was the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, who was fond of collecting foreign and old coins which he gifted to visitors and friends during festivities and special occasions.
Coin collecting has found its way into modern society and today almost anyone can become a numismatist. Coin collecting has generated an active numismatic market and, as interest has grown, coin collector’s organizations and clubs have sprung up to satisfy the ever growing demand for this interesting pursuit.
Coin collectors can be categorized, broadly, into five different types of collectors:
1. Coin Collectors
Most coin collectors collect coins as a hobby and, even though they are aware of the potential value of their collection, making a profit is not a top priority. They are more interested in the historical significance, artistic appeal, and sentimental value of coins.
2. Coin Investors
In contrast to coin collectors, investors are more interested in the financial gain that their hobby can generate. They are keenly aware of coin market trends and will purchase, trade and sell coins accordingly. The historical significance and other trademarks of coins matter only in that they may increase the value of the coins.
3. Commercial Coin Buyers
Above everything else, commercial coin collectors are concerned with the melt value and bullion value of coins. Their main purpose is to collect and sell bullion coins, such as gold and silver coins, for commercial use. These coins are melted for use as components in products such as jewelry and other commercial products.
4. Coin Inheritors
Persons who possess coins that they have inherited from numismatist relatives, ancestors or friends may choose to grow their collection and become numismatists themselves, or they may decide to keep the coins as an heirloom to pass on to their children. Inherited collections are sometimes donated to coin museums.
5. Coin hoarders
The coin hoarder’s involvement in coin collecting is distinctly defined by the opportunity to haphazardly collect and possess large numbers of unsorted coins. A hoarder seldom has any interest in the historic value of coins or the potential for financial gain.
