The key to a good coin collection is contact with a good coin dealer. There are two important things you can get out of a good coin dealer.
Genuine collectibles
Knowledge
Now, many people might not see the value of the second benefit. But what you have to understand is that, if you want to be a serious coin collector you have to know the business. This means knowing everything there is to know about the types of coins you like to collect. You essentially need to know their history, composition of metals, aging, dimensions etc. You also need to know what makes them valuable and be able to be a decent judge of their values. This is where a good coin dealer can help you by imparting some of their knowledge to you. By dealing one on one with a genuine coin dealer, you can build up a working relationship with them. As this relationship grows, you will become privy to knowledge that you might not be able to pick up in books or on the internet. These inside tips are extremely valuable and will be of great help in identifying and valuing precious coins.
If you are interested in collecting silver or gold bullion, then this knowledge is not of paramount importance. However, you will have to keep close tabs on the precious metals market. That is the only way you will be able to make a profit out of your collection.
