Coin What to look at?

• Authenticity
• Coins, issued by an issuing authority,
  commemorating an event and in addition being
  endorsed by a national or international
  institution (like FAO/UN) have a high degree of
  authenticity and are therefore highly
  numismaticEg. FAO Series Ceres Gold and Silver
  Medallions (Food and Agriculture Organization, UN)

• Rarity Limited MintageThe lower the mintage
  the higher the possibility that the value of the
  coin will increase since demand is higher than
  supply.

• Policy and Image
• The more conservative, strict and stringent the
  issuing policy of the respective authority, the
  better the potential the value of a coin will
  increase.

Type of Coins

• Numismatic Coins
• Coins issued by the government to celebrate and
  honour important events, anniversaries, etc.
  
• Can be both precious and non-precious metal
• Often minted in proof finish, with limited
  mintage and face value
  

• Bullion
• Coin with little numismatic value sold for its
  precious metal content and traded at the current
  bullion price. Gold or silver coins, bars or
  ingots
• Often struck in prooflike finish or BU
  (Brilliant Uncirculated)

• Circulation Coins
• Coins that were minted for commercial use and
  never become a numismatic coin
  
• therefore suffers wear and tear a used coin.

Commemorative Coin Finishing

• Proof coins
• coin minted from highly polished planchets and
  dies resulting in a well-struck coin with highly
  reflective fields
  
• The mirror-like finish derives from high
  pressure strike in the minting process

• Matte

• Antique

• High Relief
• a coin with deep concave fields due to highly
• raised designs. High relief coins require extra
  pressure to be fully struck and are difficult to
  stack.

Tips in Coin Care

• Tip 1 Housing
• Keep your coin in the provided presentation box.
• Tip 2 Removing
• Before removing a coin from its capsule, consider
  whether it's really necessary
  
• Tip 3 Holding
• Never touch an uncirculated or Proof coin
  anywhere but the edge. Wearing clean surgical
  gloves is advised.
  
• Tip 4 Storage
• Keep the coin in a dry environment with minimal
  changes in average temperature.
  
• Tip 5 Avoid close contact
• Avoid holding numismatic items in front of your
  mouth. Small particles of moisture may eventually
  cause spots.
  
• Tip 6 Dragging
• Do not drag coins across any surface. You can
  never be too careful.
  
• Tip 7 Dont polish.

7 Steps in Coin Collecting

• Step 1 Identify Yourself
• Start with one or two meaningful series to which
  you as a person can associate.
  
• Step 2 Specialize
• Set goals and boundary on the series of your
  selections
  
• Step 3 Learn
• Learn all you can about the particular coins you
  chose
  
• Step 4 Subscribe
• Subscribe to coin publications to enhance your
  knowledge as much as possible
  
• Step 5 Complete
• Try to collect all coins in one series to
  increase the potential numismatic value.
  
• Step 6 Patience
• Collecting coins is similar to collecting
  antiques, art, cars, and wines and requires a lot
  of patience. There are coins which appreciate
  immediately and there are others which appreciate
  after 20 years.
