Coin Care: Should I Clean My Coins? How Should I Handle My Coins?

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:20:00 -0500

The time and effort that you put into collecting coins means that you should do your best to take care of them, but you of course already know this. So you're probably asking yourself, what is the best way to take care of the coins? Truth is, though, unless you really, really, really want to, don't clean your coins; this will only lead to you reducing their value. If, however, you insist on cleaning them, here are a few tips.

Know How to Hold Your Coins

Coins are worth money because of the materials they are made of and their rareness. When you come across a coin that is rare, it is essential that you always hold it by the edges -- never the faces. Holding it by the face is likely to cause blemishes, thus reducing its value. For coins that are uncirculated -- in other words, they are worth a lot of money -- make sure to handle them with a pair of lintless gloves made out of cotton. It's best to avoid latex gloves because they tend to have lubricants on them, which can cause damage to your coins.

Cleaning Pennies

For copper coins -- especially pennies before 1982 -- ketchup will help clean them up. A small amount of ketchup and a toothbrush should bring back the beauty of almost any penny.If you notice the pennies are a pinkish color after cleaning them with ketchup, make a paste out of baking soda and water and rub it over the penny, followed by rinsing it with warm water. Other ways to clean pennies include with:

Lemon juice and salt
Salt and vinegar
Taco bell sauce
Tabasco sauce

If you're thinking about cleaning your coins with a pencil eraser, know that doing this can remove mint marks, which is not only illegal but will give you a bad reputation within the coin collection industry.

Coin Storage: Options

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 10:36:00 -0500

With the time and effort it takes to build your coin collection, it only makes sense to make the effort to store them properly. Because of their small size, coins are easily lost and yet they hold value that makes it important to keep track of them. Whether you consider the value from a monetary viewpoint or because of a personal love of coins, you’ll want to store your coin albums so you can keep track of your collection. You may keep your coins tucked away in a drawer, or have them out for show on shelving for your guests to view. Whether for display or in private and whether you have a few single coins or a collection of coin sets, coin storage options are available to suit your needs.

Coin Flips are the most common storage solution. Typically, these are cardboard with a clear plastic covered cutout and simply fold around the coin and fasten with a staple. Other options are available in which the coin flip is made of plastic and seals shut more securely than with the use of a simple staple.
Notebook binders are available with add-on notebook pages to build your own coin album that has room to expand as your collection grows.
Small Zip-Lock bags or polyethylene bags can be a great way to store coins that you may want to maintain quick and easy access to. They protect the coin, and yet the coin is accessible for show or appraisal.
Storage boxes are available that have been specifically designed for coin storage. With the proper size and shape to hold rows of individually wrapped coins, boxes can be used equally well for small, medium or large coin collections according to the need of the collector.

This Year's Most Valuable Coins

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 10:47:00 -0500

Coin collecting is an interesting and fun hobby for enthusiasts, investors and casual collectors alike. As your coin collecting supplies grow, you find yourself searching for more valuable coins. The final value is determined by what someone will pay for it. There are five coins in particular that are valued to the point that it’s an honor to simply view them.

The Watters-Childs Specimen of a class I Proof-68 U.S. 1804 silver dollar sold in 1999 for $4,140,000. The coin has previously been held in government treasuries and owned by sultans.
A 1787 Brasher Doubloon of EB on the Wing sold for $4,582,500 at auction in 2014. Ephraim Brasher was a gold and silversmith in the late 1700’s and minted the coin based on gold value at a time before American currency had been established, using styling similar to Spanish coins in use at the time.
Another 1787 Brasher Doubloon with EB on the chest sold at the end of 2011 for $7,395,000. The extra rarity comes from the EB stamp being on the chest. Even at the time of minting it was a rare coin made of $15 worth of gold.
The 1933 Twenty Dollar Double Eagle gold coin is typically illegal to own because of President Roosevelt’s order to withdraw all gold coins from circulation during the Great Depression. One survived in Egypt with King Farouk to be sold later. In 2002 it sold for $7,590,020 in a deal to split the proceeds with the Federal Mint and monetize the coin by paying the $20 currency value, making legal to own.
The 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar sold in 2013 for $10,016,875 and is thought to be the first silver dollar minted by the United States.

The Wisdom Of Whitman: 4 Benefits of Coin Folders

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 15:20:00 -0500

Collecting coins is a great way to document American history, but quality coin storage is necessary to make the most of your collection.

Whitman coin folders offer collectors a wide variety of benefits, including:

Durable Storage

Whitman coin folders are tough and sturdy, providing enduring protection for your coins. Whether you plan to keep them on an open display or store them in an archive, Whitman folders will keep them in good condition.

Secure Coin Slots

Each slot in a Whitman coin folder is specially designed to lock coins in place. If you place the edge of the coin in the slot and press down, the coin will be permanently lodged in the folder. This reduces the likelihood that coins will become dislodged and locked.

Historical Highlights

Each coin slot comes with a detailed description of the coin's history. You'll have no trouble keeping track of the material the coin was made of, the years when it was printed, and other essential information. These descriptions tell American history from a monetary perspective, providing a unique insight into this country's events.

Goal Generation

Besides allowing you to view your coins and their history securely, Whitman coin folders also make it easier for you to identify coin collection goals. The folders are divided into types of coins from particular eras and give you a comprehensive list of all coins of these types that were minted. Filling in the spaces gives you a clear sense of which coins you still have to collect, and you'll feel accomplished once you finally fill in all the slots.

Coin Supply Express provides coin folders, albums, display cases, and other products from the leading coin storage brands. To learn more about collection, visit our website today.

The Hunt For Older Coins: 3 Outlet Recommendations

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 10:41:00 -0500

Many times, when on the hunt for specific coins as part of a collection, we may hit a roadblock. Often times, this roadblock stems from the need of a specific piece you just can't seem to find through any of your regular outlets. Luckily, especially if you are in search of a United States coin, you have many options to help you along the road to success.

Our first option, while it may seem like a tedious process, is perfect for the coin collector on a budget. One can obtain coin rolls from their local bank. This is virtually free. And, if the coin you are looking for isn't found, you're still left with the full amount of the roll.

Our second option is to check out some online auction websites. eBay is a huge one for numismatics. Most would say eBay is a safe platform to use. Our recommendation is to check the seller's reputation out. Read through their reviews and take not of anything which may indicate the user may not be trustworthy.

Lastly, attending coin shows can be a great way to not only try and find the coin you are looking for, but also to learn. Coin shows tend to feature a large variety of different coins from different places around the world. Attend a coin show and gain some helpful knowledge to use in your future endeavors!

Good luck on your search! Visit https://www.coinsupplyexpress.com to stock up on coin collecting supplies.

5 Coin Collecting Strategies. Take Notes.

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2015 11:26:00 -0500

No matter how long you've been collecting coins, there are five basic strategies you should be following.

1. For starters, it's important that you start with coins that you know have value, such as the Type II and Type III Liberty Double Eagles as well as the whole American Eagle coin family. By starting out with coins that have proven themselves to stay valuable, you can rest assured that your collection will have a solid foundation.

2. Another important strategy to follow is making sure that you preserve the condition of the coins you collect. After all, preservation is a major factor in determining how desirable the coins are to collectors, therefore determining how much they are actually worth. When you search for coins, try to find ones that are in good enough condition to be certified by NGC or PCGS.

3. Moving on, you should always make sure to invest in coins that are rare. If you find a rare coin, buy it now and watch it as it increases in value over the years. To determine which coins are the most rare, you can view their population information using empirical data detailing.

4. You should also do your best to collect entire families of coins and put them in coin folders. The more coins you have to each set, the more they are worth because coin collectors will find your coin sets more desirable.

5. Lastly, you'll want to study the cycles of coin collecting. During downward cycles, you'll be able to buy coins inexpensively, while being presented the opportunity to sell them for top dollar when the cycles move back upward.

As you can see, there is much involved in collecting coins. Fortunately, though, anyone can dive head first into this hobby, just make sure to allow the aforementioned strategies to guide you. Visit us online for al of your coin collecting supplies needs.

3 Coin Tools For The Avid Collector

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:35:00 -0500

A true coin collector doesn't simply throw their collection in a shoe box and keep it on the shelf. For those of us serious about the hobby, obtaining the proper materials is half of the game. The three most important areas of concern for the avid collector are acquisition, display, and storage. Your valuable collection must be carefully protected in each of these situations. The proper handling, storage, and display media are vital in maintaining a collection.

Acquisition:

The most challenging part of coin collecting may be finding higher quality coins in circulation, where they have had no protection at all. If you are lucky enough to find them, gloves and a few simple envelopes for temporary transport can save you the embarrassment of scratched coins.

Display:

Options for displaying coin collections range from simple and cost effective to elaborate and stylish. Your least valuable examples can be displayed very economically in simple 2x2 staple flips. But your most prized possessions might best be treated as if they were a Purple Heart you are showing to trusted friends. For these coins a more elegant (and more protective) choice might be an aluminum, wooden, or leatherette display case.

Storage:

Storage has two components, convenience and availability. You need your coins to be easily viewable, and you need them to be conveniently stored in secure, manageable containers. Choose whatever media suit your collection best from binders, folders, or tailor-made quantity-focused boxes.

The impressive array of these and other tools at Coin Supply Express is the widest selection on the Web. Treat your collection with the pride and distinction it deserves. Choose from the finest in supplies at Coin Supply Express.

Purchasing Coins: Wholesaler vs Retailer

information@CoinSupplyExpress.com — Tue, 19 May 2015 12:14:00 -0500

Are you in need of a rare piece to complete a coin collection? Perhaps you are interested in obtaining a coin from a specific era in time. Regardless of your needs, having the knowledge of where to turn when the time comes to work with a dealer is of the utmost importance.

In this day in age, coin dealers can be broken down into two different categories. On one hand, we have the wholesaler. On the other hand, we have the retailer.

Many people prefer to go to the smaller provider, as a smaller business may seem more reliable. But, often times the retailer is purchasing from the wholesaler as it is. Additionally, the wholesaler is generally part of a certified network and should have many references.

The wholesaler will be prominent at coin shows and conventions. If you are looking to make a smart purchase, attending these conventions is your best bet as to not deal with any questionable transfers of goods.

In the end, ensuring you have thoroughly researched your dealer, whether a wholesaler or retailer is crucial before deciding to purchase anything.

Perhaps you've just started diving into the world of coin collecting. Maybe you've been doing it for years! Regardless, everyone could use a little guidance when available.

That's why today we wanted to share some basic coin collecting tips to help you make the most of your efforts:

We hope these tips were helpful! Remember, coin collecting is an exciting hobby which can become even more special when sharing with a family member. Turn your collection into a family project to spend some quality time and share history with the ones you love!
