Buying Coins With Expert Advice From Colonial Coins: Part 2

Getting your hands on collectible coins to either add to your existing collection or start a new one can be done in different ways. We already covered some professional tips in part 1 of the series, and now it is time to move on to other helpful pieces of advice. As you know, purchasing coins can be done at auctions, from professional dealers and even from friends and relatives who have coins for sale. However, because there are countless coins out there and because each has a different value, you will eventually need the help of a professional dealer. This is the best time to turn to Colonial Acres not just for rare and valuable pieces, but for tips and advice as well.

Valuable Coin Purchasing Tips

The reason why you are bound to need professional help at some point during your coin collecting career is because professionals have years of experience. In addition to the coin purchasing tips we covered in part 1 of the series, here are some additional pieces of advice for when you next set out to enrich your collection:

  • Numismatic auctions should be your preferred method of buying coins
  • Trust your judgment and instinct when purchasing collector coins
  • Pay attention to coin shows and exhibitions when looking to acquire coins

Numismatic Auctions

Auctions are a great way to purchase coins, though they do have their drawbacks. The single most important requirement of attending an auction to buy coins is to read the auction house’s terms of sale very carefully. This is because each auction house has different regulations which govern its sales. When bidding in person, make sure to attract as little attention as possible to avoid having the auctioneer mistake your actions as a second bid. Visit Colonial Acres for more information on numismatic auctions and valuable coin pieces.

It Is Important To Trust Your Judgment

When it comes to numismatics, it is important to keep in mind that first impressions are usually correct. Especially if you are just beginning to form your collection, if something sounds way too good to be true, it usually is. If you were to be offered a highly valuable, uncirculated coin in pristine condition for a price that is just below the average of what other dealers would offer you, that wouldn’t be so strange. However, if you were offered that same coin for half the price of what other dealers would ask for it, that should be a clear signal that something is not right. It is important to be especially cautious when buying coins. If you are looking for reputable and professional coin dealers to do business with, definitely stop by Colonial Acres Coins.

Consider Coin Shows & Exhibitions

Another excellent choice for getting your hands on rare and valuable coin pieces are coin shows and exhibitions. The thing to keep in mind about coin shows is that they can vary in size considerably. For example, there are shows that only consist of a handful of dealers in attendance. On the other hand, coin shows featuring hundreds of participating dealers are not uncommon either. If you are interested in attending coin shows in your area, ask for more information on upcoming locations at your local coin club.

Colonial Acres Coins: Your Coin Dealer Of Choice

Numismatics can be both an interesting hobby and a full-time job. While it is relatively easy to enter numismatic waters and start a coin collection at home, it is likely that at some point you will come in contact with professional coin dealers. When this happens, rest assured that Colonial Acres Coins is THE place for you to acquire not just interesting coin pieces but professional advice and knowledge as well. Contact Colonial Acres today and enrich your collection with valuable, yet affordable coins.
