Big like number 251 my friend! Thank you so much for sharing! Excellent video!
Exonumia, including medals and tokens is another area full of ways to collect. Thank you for another interesting and informative video.
Good point - definitely should have included that one.
Lots of fun for me collecting! I have started 6 different type set started for me & Coin roll Hunting. Thought I’d share this information! Thanks sure is a lot of fun ways to collect! Great Video !🎈👍👍
That's awesome! Best of luck!
What’s up bro. Thanks for sharing thanks for teaching us about the Clines that means a lot to us. I am working on my coin collection also. And I will be sharing pretty soon all the credit goes to you once again thanks bro
Thanks man! Looking forward to your uploads!
Great video we need more videos like this if you have time please do some more
Very good information that I can use. Thanks !
Hope it's helpful! You're the man.
Great ways to collect, I collect a little of each way you talked about.
Awesome!
Great video ... liked how you mentioned your grandfather. So much of coin collecting comes from parents teaching their children about the hobby!
Definitely!
Good talk there Christian,
I only collect the coins I dig up metal detecting,
It shows the history of my local area where I live here in Oxfordshire England, so Iron age, Roman, Saxon, Medieval, Elizabethan, Georgian, Victorian etc,
the best bit is finding a coin I haven't got yet.
That's really cool. Probably tough to decipher some of the really old stuff though!
Almost my entire collection is from coin roll hunting. We were able to complete the early Kennedy half dollar book minus the elusive 1970. We’ve also completed the later Lincoln Penny book that starts in 1975 and almost completed the 1941-1974 book. It’s been a lot of fun as a new collector on a budget. We’ve found some foreign coins from our CRH and from coin machines, and that’s given us a taste of the world coins. Thanks for the new ideas for collecting!
That's really cool! Infinite ways to do so. I like the Type Sets and actually just started doing folders for my penny hunts to see how much I can fill up a wheat penny folder with $1000 FV pennies.
I like the idea of getting a coin from every country in the world. I just checked and there are about 195 countries currently.
Good stuff! Thanks TT!
Thanks!
I like my error coins my friend 🙏
Thank you sharing good coin & video like 👍👍👍
Errors definitely fun to collect!
Hello Treasure Town, very nice video.
Thanks Meya!
Woow thanks very much
I like my error's coins, There are So many out there. Good money. Thanks for your help.
That's awesome!
I personally don't understand those collectors who only collect coins from their own country, or those who only collect
very certain coins just to make a complete set of that specific type.
I myself collect every and all coins I don't yet have in my collection, no matter what currency it is, how old it is, or what it's composed of, as long as it's new to my collection.
All coins from every date and denomination, as well as all commemorative coins.
That way my collection will never have an actual limit, and my hobby won't come to a sudden halt. I don't ever need to ask myself questions like "now that I have collected every single American silver dollar, what will I do now?"
That's a cool way of thinking about it! Some good points. I like having some direction which is why I'm doing a full US Type Set - probably will never complete it!
My collecting favorite is collecting the "theme" of Transportation" Coins and Bank Notes showing various forms of transportation ("Trains, Planes, Automobiles and Things With and/or Without Wheels"). This also includes tokens and/or medals (non-military).
That's really neat!
Knowledge is nice when you can use it to buy cheap, and use it again to sell high. It can kind of be thought of as another "premium", but one paid to YOU.
Keep up the great job!
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the video. One way to collect coins that I like is to look for coins with ships or boats on them, or wildlife, or horses, etc. Yes, it's world coin collecting, but it has a theme, rather than just one from every country (which is a theme, too, I guess.) Just have fun with whichever way you choose to collect - you don't have to make money at it.
That's pretty cool. I love the Half Penny design with the boat on the back.. uncirculated ones look SO nice!
I'm (slowly) putting together a 1942 collection. 1942 has my favourite penny, dime, quarter and half dollar designs. 1942 also has 2 different types of nickel and the major 1942 over 1 Mercury Dime variety. I'm also a Douglas Adams fan, so that might have something to do with it!
That's pretty cool! I bet there are some cool cherrypicker varieties for that date as well that would be fun to pick up if you're looking to expand it!
Great video.
Thanks!
I do all them! World Coins, slabbed coins, one type such Philippine Coins, coins from rolls, stacker like junk silver, errors and varieties, information, commemoratives!
Pretty neat stuff! So many ways to take it... fun to have parts in all of em!
Thanks bruh
Nice video!
Thanks! Gotta bust out the cube again... PR in a WCA comp is like 23 seconds I think (from a while ago).
Im doing the world silver type set lol i want a silver coin from every country that as made silver coins, no matter the silver percentage, in gonna get it!
For the past several years now, my numismatic passion has driven me into the direction of focusing mostly on and collecting medals.
While medals may not necessarily be considered by some to be pure numismatics (exonumia is often the term used to describe medals), in my view I do put it into the general category of the hobby of coin collecting.
Sure, I enjoy my collections of American circulating coinage, my ancients, and my modern bullion coins......but none of that has given me anywhere close to the enjoyment of collecting medals of various types.
My medal collection is fairly diverse and significantly large and yet I have barely scratched the surface of the array and diversity of medals available to collect.
I think medals is perhaps the most under explored genre within the general hobby of coin collecting; after all, compared to topics such as coinage of various types, I hardly see any focus on social media or in coin collecting forums on medals.......comparatively speaking. And in one way, that's actually a good thing because otherwise prices of medals would be considerably higher in the after market if there would be comparable attention given to medals.
Now, why do I enjoy collecting medals so much more than coinage? Namely because, by-and-large, medals are generally so much more interesting and appealing design wise and in terms of commemorating or depicting historical events, important issues, or fascinating topics like aviation history, architecture, or accomplishments of humans as just a few examples.
That is actually really cool! I agree though... sometimes we get some old Napoleonic medals in the coin shop and they are very intricate with great detail... so fascinating. Not something I've even gotten into whatsoever - would be interesting to know more about them though. Thanks for sharing... a really interesting comment to read.
I was always told to collect what you like, even if you just buy one coin a year or just go to a bank and get rolls of change to find good coins at face value to put into coin folders. Once I made good money I started buying year and mint mark sets.
Probably the most important thing. Gotta have fun with coins. Only problem is some people spending money they don't have on coins that will not appreciate (or are overpriced) when they are thinking it's an investment.
I collect a few of the ways you mentioned. Let me add another...
Metal detecting. Most copper coins don't do well in the ground, but silver most times comes out of the ground in the same condition as when it was lost.
I enjoy your videos.
Have a Jesus filled day

That's a really cool way to do it! I should dust off my ACE 350 and get out there. God Bless!
@DebbyAbqNM
Thanks for the recommendation.
I'll check it out.

I Have Every Mint And Proof Set From 1959 To Date ,The Complete Run Of Silver Proof Set From 1992 To Date And All Of The Prestige Sets !
That's neat! I never got into the sets as much (outside of my Type Set) but there are a lot of ways people have fun with it!
I personally do yr runs with all the mints best way to collect on a budget and at my local coin shop I can get the coin books for $5
That's cool! Can be a very fun way to collect
My favorites to collect are pennies and the world coins. I wish I could decipher where my foreign coins are from as well as you can!!
That's cool though! World coins are SO fun... I'm doing a one-per-country and have had a lot of fun doing that.
Thanks for the reply on my Ethiopian penny! You rock!
Dear CHRISTIAN. HI. AWESOME TOP 10 TIPS. I AM #10 ,,,I LOVE THE INFORMATION. #6. EXCELLENT ADVICE ON THIS TOPIC.EXTREMELY INTERESTING. #7. BE CAREFUL WHO SLABBED THEM? YES. #8. TO THE HAPPY COIN... I AM A HAPPY CAMPER LOOKING FOR THE ERRORS AND HAVING AN AWESOME TIME WITH JUST THAT. EXCELLENT JOB! YOU ROCK 💕👈
Really cool! I appreciate your support a lot - thanks so much.
Make a video on collecting Proof sets, that's what I like to do!
Good idea for the long term! I like it!
Good information. Too bad I didn't realize the 90% silver rule with pre 1964 quarters. Coinstar exchanged about 1,200 quarters (grandfather died) into about $570... LoL... Coinstar even charged me 10% service charge. This was in 2012... when silver was on the high end. OMG... I still cry.
No way!!!! That REALLY hurts to read! Sorry about that :(
Well SAID👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks!
Hey there, Treasure Town! I'm a fairly new collector, and I personally collect coins with some cool history behind them, no matter the face value, resell value, or even the immediacy of their story. Like, I have this pretty poor-looking Philippine peso (1997) that I recently got from a relative once I told them that I've taken an interest to coinage. It's a really badly burnt piece, and has little to no eye appeal whatsoever--you can't even see much of Jose Rizal's face anymore, and his name is completely gone--but its story is fairly interesting. See, in September 11, 2001, as America was hit with one of its biggest tragedies to date, my grandparents were monitoring the news 'cause we had relatives (at the time) who were in New York. They were so transfixed on the T.V. that they didn't notice that a small fire had broken out in their small mom-n-pop shop that was across the street from where they lived. Thankfully, the fire didn't erupt into anything too dangerous, and the store was okay--save for a small tin can where my grandpa puts aside spare change for various reasons. The can was half-melted, and almost all of the coins in it were either melted too, or disfigured too much to be of any use... except for a few peso that would later be passed down to other family members out of the belief that they were 'lucky money'.
That's a super cool story! I definitely think that there is something special about coins with family history behind them. I save a lot of the ones that have been passed down, even if there's no real extra value (or significant value).
the earliest coin known dates in the 5th century BCE or Before Current Era
Coin Collector yes lydian coinage from Anatolia if I recall correctly
Sam Cowell yes you are correct
I think you're right on!
1907 old coin.american/phillipines i have sir
Hey wassup Christian. I've been a PM's stacker/collector for years but I've always had an itch to put together a solid numismatic collection but it is so hard to start bc the questions begs.....where to start??
Gotta find what you love! I would personally recommend building a Type Set over time with pretty good condition coins. Not a great play value-wise but I really appreciate the history & art I display in my DANSCO 7070.
@@TreasureTownCoins I'm not in it for the money, I do it bc it brings me joy and is something that was taught to me from my father as was taught to him. I will also pass this knowledge on down the line. Thanks for the reply Christian
@@TreasureTownCoins let me elaborate bc my last comment is kind of misleading. I do not have a huge collection not did my father but I really want to put together a solid collection. I make a modest living working construction so I wish I could follow a legend like Doug Winters but that is out of my range. A type set does sound intriguing. I've already have a decent start to it...I guess I'll follow on through with
I have really enjoyed my journey with it. I probably have spent about $200 or so and will continue to do so in the coming years... something fun. It is probably worth about $140 on eBay so after fees about $120... but I hand picked the coins and it's worth it!
The modern bullion graded coin/rounds are so saturated. You have what we call "gradeflation" and all these pumped up bullion coins that will milkspot within the year
Exactly. Tough to collect... I avoid it personally.
Christian what type of mic do you use
Blue Yeti for the larger ones/presentations and a Shure MV88 for ones when I'm filming with my phone.
