| Article Title :: Identifying US Coins With Bullish Futures |
| |
| Okay, letÂ’s get something straightÂ… I do not advocate the purchase of United States coins strictly for investment purposes. Like most traditional collectors, I believe coins are to be primarily appreciated for their artistic beauty, historical connections, and the joy of pursuing them. However, it should be no secret that a significant number of us do add to our numismatic holdings while simultaneously peeking at the payback angle, too.
In truth, there are probably substantial numbers of traditional collectors who prefer to acquire coins destined to increase in esteem and value over time; treasured heirlooms and a source of pride to be passed from one generation to the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: GrandmaÂ’s Mercury Dimes |
| |
| One vivid memory of my very early childhood back in the 1960’s was of driving to church on Sunday mornings with my family. Since my grandparents lived close to us, Dad would always swing by and pick them up, and we’d all carpool together. It was the job of “Little Danny” (as I was affectionately nicknamed back then) to sit in the backseat, wedged snugly between Grandpa and Grandma.
As if some sort of ritual, every Sunday Grandma would fish though her purse to find goodies for me and my older brother. Grandma almost always carried WrigleyÂ’s chewing gum, though once in a while we had to settle for a cherry-flavored cough drop. For a bonus treat, Grandma gave e (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Favorite Gold Coins To Collect For Investment |
| |
| Why Gold American Eagle Coins are Popular among Collectors
Gold coins are a favorite of coin collectors with an eye toward investment. Not only are golden coins lovely to behold, but they also have a value that is guaranteed, due to their precious metal content. The value of gold coins is usually higher than the value of their weight in gold bullion, making them a better investment than the gold market alone.
Many countries produce gold coins for collectors or for commemorative purposes. These coins oftentimes emphasize unique aspects of the countryÂ’s culture. Australia reveres its national animal with the Gold Kangaroo, for example, while China has a Gold Panda (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Determining Coin Values |
| |
| Factors that Influence the Value of Collectible Coins
If you are interested in collecting coins, itÂ’s important to be able to have a rough idea of how much coins are worth. Knowing how coin values are determined will enable you to find good deals, and ensure that you donÂ’t get cheated into paying too much money for a coin with a low worth.
Supply Influences Coin Values
One major factor in determining coin values is the law of supply and demand. If there are many coins of a particular type available, that coin will not be worth much. On the other hand, if only a very few coins of that type are produced, the coin values will rise. This is why a comple (read full article) |
