There are many kinds of people who collect ancient coins: one is a novice who owns heirloom coins, the other is a coin merchant with many years of experience, and the third is a veteran coin collector, who is engaged in all walks of life in society except because of the coin gathering. For many collectors, collecting coins is mainly from two aspects: personal preference and cultural level.
But today, from the perspective of pure interests, how should the collection of ancient coins be collected? The most important thing about collecting coins is to look at the appearance. Even if the same coin is different in appearance, the price will be very different. Therefore, when receiving coins, we must pay attention to preservation and stay away from humid environments.
In general, if the coin surface is blurred, the outline is defective, and the rust is serious, try not to collect the coin. In the process of collection, we must pay attention to whether there are moon patterns, star patterns and other signs, and the identification of ancient money is based on the back text to distinguish the casting age and address, and evaluate its rarity. Generally speaking, those with moon and star marks on the back of coins are more collectible than those on the back. The two coins in the chart below are examples, because the price difference is very large because of the difference in appearance.
Good quality, the price is between 50---150W
Washed, serious damage to coins, worth about 30----80W!
Collect coins to be familiar with the history of coins, collect some rare coins. A small coin bears witness to history. Don't look at the small coin, it contains a lot of knowledge, you have to understand history, you have to understand calligraphy, you have to know which coin is more valuable, which dynasty reigned for a short time, what money was minted when he was in power, more or less know some words, so that when encountering some particularly exaggerated fake money, you will not be deceived, such as the particularly exaggerated "cosmic treasure" and "earth treasure" and so on. When collecting rare coins, such as "Jingkang Tongbao", "Jingkang Tongbao" for historical reasons, and money from the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom period, these coins are located in the era because of some historical reasons, resulting in a special amount of minting, so the collection value is relatively high.
