How Do you Go About Caring for Coins?
There are a great many things you can do wrong in the caring for coins, and I have to say that at the tender age of eight I did just about everything wrong that you can imagine. Luckily for me I didn’t have any old or rare coins in my possession otherwise for certain they would have been ruined beyond all hope!
However, I did learn a lot of what-not-to-do’s from my early forays, as well as a few good tips on caring for coins to conserve my coin collection. All of these experiences, came through my own, or my fellow coin collectors’ efforts and have all proven to be equally disastrous and equally worthy.
If you’re only into coin collecting for the fun of it and don’t have any particularly rare coins, then go ahead and break all the rules about caring for coins.
Rules were meant to be broken and if you’re an avid coin collector it can be a breath of fresh air in your life. I know from firsthand experience how frustrating it can get if you have to always be handling your coins with kid gloves, so to speak.
For me at least part of the pleasure of coin collecting is getting my hands on the coins and running it through my hands. Which you’ll find when caring for coins, is a no-no to most coin collectors.
However, I’m only alive once and if I can’t enjoy the fruits of my efforts in a manner that I like then what’s the use? So know when to break the rules and when you should really stick to them in caring for coins.
