Northern Rockies Coin & Bullion #2

Alot of people have said that they collect coins because of the history.

But in reality. I think most people collect coins because of the metal or rarity of the coin.

I don't care if you like this post or not, I'm not here to serenade everyone by agreeing with their opinions. But coin collecting is going to die out sooner or later. Cause they're fewer rare or silver coins being produced today. Alot of people are gonna start hoarding their rare coins if they're not already and hold onto them for a lifetime. I'm seeing fewer and fewer silver certs or even earlier dated legal tender notes being sold or even Large cents in great conditions, being sold, why? Everyone is collecting them.

If you look throughout modern coins and their designs. That's actually history, because each ATB quarter or every Jefferson nickel with a design change, has a piece of history surrounding it. With the ATB quarters, that's showing what represents each of those states. Each person on a quarter, penny, dime, penny etc has a purpose of being on there. Alot of people are complaining about our history being wiped out by politicians, especially those who are changing the names of military installations just because they're names of southern generals. That's history being changed right in front of you. Don't let this hobby die out, teach it to the younger generation, teach them about history and why it's there. It'll probably help them with finances too 🤣

My main point of this is, don't stop collecting coins cause the date is modern or the coin is copper-clad.

KEEP COLLECTING BECAUSE IT'S MADE IN AMERICA AND IT'S AMERICAN, everything we buy today is made in another country. If you complain about not being able to buy something American, support your local coin shop they have tons of items that are American and they're the only things left that are made in America.

Albums are a great tool to keep a collection. There are multiple albums for different coins such as pennies, dimes, dollars, nickels, three-cent pieces, etc.

If you are a collector of multiple dates but just one coin then look into getting an album.

You don't necessarily need an album, especially if you're cost conscious as dansco albums can be expensive. You can put coins in airtite holders and put them in a case/box.

Keep in mind that if you are buying coins around MS64 grade or higher, that those coins will possibly get scratched and the luster might fade. Most collectors look for coins in XF-AU and also G-F to place in these albums.

I am always impressed when I come across an album of either denomination. They are a great way to flex your collection and also a great learning tool.

Good Morning! I hope everyone is well.
I wanted to take some time and talk about precious metals and numismatics. Of course, Our favorite subjects.
But particularly because I have a theory on why coin collecting is becoming unpopular and it's a dying hobby.
I see alot of great coins and currency going for cheap. Some coins and currency I understand but not most, if that makes sense.
I see people wanting to pay what the market was years ago and not what the current market is. I disagree that ebay is a good source for seeing what people will pay for that item, honestly, it's devaluating the market and devaluating the community. Why use that when you can use a system like the Greysheet? The greysheet is the most accurate source to see where the market is standing. Numismatics are valued at a higher price than precious metals. I currently own a coin that's pure copper and that is at the current price of what you would pay for a 1/10th ounce of gold. I get that people are investing in precious metals for SHTF situations or to help retire, but when the market fluctuates dramtically like most of us have seen, is it really a solid investment? I get that markets fluctuate all the time, but Silver went down to $18.00 and some change when it was up around $30 a year ago. Even though I question its' foundation, metals are a really good Invesment especially if the dollar goes worthless cause, it's the king's currency and it's been around for thousands of years.
The takeaway is, don't buy something cheap and expect a high turn over, alot of people like to short sale numismatics and currency, sometimes you can't do that cause it's not like precious metals, the market doesn't move as fast as PM's do. Sometimes you gotta pay a high price to get a solid investment.

This why I don't like PCGS and I believe PCGS to be overhyped.
This early release ASE is only valued at $110. Whereas NGC values it at $155.
The 1919-S is only valued at $110 with PCGS but NGC values it at $155.

Modern numismatics are underrated in my opinion.

There's alot of people out there that think coin collecting stops at older numismatics and currencies. It doesn't.

I found 10 pennies this morning that were worth $71 together.

Numismatics is the study of coins and currency. Each coin is a historical relic. Either of the person that's on the coin, historical marker, engraved, and even the metal it's on. The other day I read a post of a person cleaning a coin without leaving any damage to the coin. This person studied how the metal would react to different substances and it turned out, again, there was no damage to the coin.
