What coins do people collect?
What to collect is entirely up to the collector – usually something that holds some special interest for the collector and is within his or her budget. Some of the most popular types of general collections are world coins (coins from several countries), ancient coins, and coins of a particular country. Specializing in a sub-catagory within these categories is also popular. If collecting from a particular country, you can work on one or more series, a type set, commemoratives, errors, die varieties, paper money, etc. You may also want to set guidelines on the grades of coins you collect (all G-VG, VF or better, or Uncirculated). Some people do this not only because they need to work within a budget, but because they’d like their collection to be consistent in quality of both monetary worth & eye appeal.
