Coin collecting is a fascinating hobby, but do you know where to start, what to collect and simply how to build your collection so that it will increase in value over the time? I hope tips below will help you to make right choices from the beginning.

1. Collect precious metal coins – silver and gold coins are great not only as collector items, but also as an investment. Paper money value decreases with the time, while silver and gold continue to rise.
2. Morgan silver dollars are among most popular silver coins to collect. They have huge historical value and some strikes such as Carlson City (CC Morgans) command premium prices of several hundred and thousand dollars.
3. Gold eagles are popular gold coins to collect. These coins have a long history dating back to 19 century. Modern bullion eagles are well designed and stroked in uncirculated and proof condition.
4. You may want to consider collecting worldwide coins. Canadian coins have great designs and variety of denominations. Australian coins quickly catching up on world market and offer state of the art fascinating designs. Chinese silver and gold coins also very popular and have great resell value.
5. Low mintage coins are in huge demand among coin collectors, and increasing in price faster than may any other coins in your collection.
6. Make sure to collect graded and certified coins. Far too often, I see eBay auction advertising extra fine coin. For newbie collector, it may sound great, but in reality “extra fine coin” condition is not what you are after. Look for BU and MS-grade coins, if available.

I hope these tips help you to decide how to build your coin collection. For more coin collections post, please visit Coin Collections home page.
