Are you keeping your special coins in a drawer or a bowl? When you collect coins, you want to keep those coins in as mint condition as possible. Mint condition means that the coins don’t have any marks or nicks and that they look just as shiny as they did when they came off the mint. You won’t keep them in mint condition (or the same condition when you got them) for very long, if you just keep them in a jar, or in a can beside or under your bed.

Some people like to keep their coins in tiny plastic sleeves, but these are hard to keep track of; especially if you have a lot of them. Instead, why not keep your coins in a coin collecting book or coin folder, instead of boxes? The plastic sheathe in the coin collecting book helps to protect your coins from wear and tear. What’s more, your coin collecting book will keep your coins together and the book is a great way to show your collection off to anyone who is curious.

Getting Started With a Coin Collecting Book

Nowadays you can get coin collecting books or albums online at eBay or other sites. There are also books sold at coin collecting shows where people love to show off their coin collections, where people love to trade and sell their coins and also love to sell coin collecting reference books where you can learn a lot about coins and coin collecting.

Coin Collecting Albums: Types of Books

There are coin collecting books for just US coins, there are coin collecting books for both US and international coins and then there are books for more historical coins, such as Roman Empire gold coins and such. There are, in fact, books for any type of coin you could ever think of.

Don’t worry if you only have one or two coins of a particular type – like Indian Head Pennies, for example. Part of the fun of collecting is filling up the book your new coin album will often give you the incentive you need to get more coins so that you can fill one or even several books that will comprise your coin collection.

Coin collecting is extremely fun and it’s interesting to see the differences in the various coins used as money throughout history. And even if you only have a couple of current coins circulating today, put them in a coin collecting book and keep collecting. Soon, you will see the surge in the number of coins ornamenting your books. Before you know it, you’ll have a collection most collectors would envy and they’ll be perfectly preserved and beautifully displayed in your various books.

One of the ways preferred by many is to classify sections within the book like Obama coin collection, bible coin collection or say valuable coins collection. If you are into foreign coin collecting then you can classify you coins as per country of their origin.

Marking Historical and Cultural Events with Collectible Coins

Coin collecting, as a hobby, is very much linked to history. People collect coins to mark events in our nation’s history and culture. They are a visually alluring keepsake and a great place to start a conversation about a historical time or place. Part of the fun of coin collecting is learning about the historical events surrounding some of history’s most important coinage.

With the hundredth anniversary of the Titanic fast approaching cultural interest in the subject has reached a fever pitch. James Cameron’s 1997 film masterpiece Titanic has been re-released in 3D. Cameron is currently working on another film project relating to the Titanic. He has even commissioned a special submarine to take him to the deepest depths of the wreck. The creator of the PBS’ hit show Downtown Abbey, Julian Fellowes, (the first episode of the series features the Titanic heavily) is currently working on a Titanic themed miniseries in the vein of Downtown Abby.

The world of collectible coins is also celebrating this historic event. Colorized coins relating to the anniversary are already available and are moving fast. Titanic related coins come in many forms, shapes, sizes, and colors. They are available in any price range so everyone can celebrate this momentous occasion together. If you are looking for a good gift for a coin collector I would highly suggest any number of Titanic themed coin sets.

With an election fast approaching the window may be closing to get Obama memorabilia like a Presidential dollar or colorized Obama coinage. The election year has already proved tumultuous and I don’t think anyone can say for sure who will occupy the Oval Office next year. You may have another 4 years to stock up on Obama collectible coins, then again you may not. I would play it safe and add some Obama coinage to your collection now.

The window is also closing to buy state quarters. State quarters were issued from 1997 to 2008 and then extended to include US territories like Puerto Rico and Guam. The program wsas soo good that had to find new places to commemorate! That means the window in which you can easily purchase mint quality, uncirculated state quarter is rapidly drawing to a close. The state quarter program is among the most successful and popular programs enacted by the U.S. Mint. It may even go down in history as one of the finest moments in modern American coinage. Make sure you make state quarter part of your collection…
