Coin collecting is one of the most interesting activities. However, so about your subject of hobbies can say not only numismatics, but also a philatelist, bibliophile or collector of valuable objects of painting. The essence of collecting - the desire to find or acquire as many specific items as possible - valuable coins, rare stamps, books or paintings. Numismatics is interesting because often the value of coins that are of interest to collectors is not determined by their antiquity. Some of the most valuable coins of the USSR in 1961-1991 are the rarest and can literally gild their owner.
First we will understand why this or that coin is called valuable. With ancient or ancient moneymarks, everything is clear - the more the age of an object, the higher its rarity becomes with time. Such coins over time becomes less and their inaccessibility increases the value of objects.
What determines the value of coins? The following factors play a key role here:
- Circulation - the bigger it is, the less valuable are the issued coins.
- Coin safety - the better it is, the higher the cost of the object. Coins that did not participate in money turnover are called sack coins. They are much more expensive than their counterparts in circulation.
- Numismatic value - if a collector needs a certain coin to fill a collection, he can offer a large sum for it.
- Production marriage is a paradox, but coins, when mistakenly mistaken for mistakes, multiply in price. It's all a rarity - there are very few such specimens, and they are of interest to collectors.
