Default COIN COLLECTING BASICS

Coin collecting can be a great hobby, provided some basics are
understood first. This article addresses proper handling, grading,
and should that coin be slabbed....

Proper Handling: Coin value is determined by both rarity and
condition. It is a good idea to protest your coins by proper
handling. The rules are simple....

Grading: Grading standards go from AG through Perfect. If you are
starting a serious collection, avoid the lower grades unless the coin
is essentially unavailable or unaffordable in higher grades...

Slabbing Coins: There are many slabbing services that will grade
your coin and seal it in a plastic holder with a Certificate of
Authenticity...
