Coin Collecting I have a unique hobby that some people find unusual. I collect coins. Coin collecting isn’t just getting a collection of the state quarters from your grandparents, it is much more. There can be many different ways that collectors get their coins. Coin collectors can find coins that are in circulation, metal detect in places for various coins, or simply buy coins.

That value was based on 2005. Back then I had no clue of values of each coin. To be exact, nobody in my family and friend was interesting enough to collect coins. So I study the coin collecting and learn coin is worth of investing. In facts, every year coin value is
