Half Cents: How To Start Your Coin Collection

It's not hard to start your own coin collection. Here is a look at how easy it is to finally call yourself a numismatist.

• Decide which coins you want to collect. Would you like to focus on colonial coins? Post colonial ones or perhaps just on Half Cents? This is important because this helps your search easier.
• Invest in a coin-collecting book so you would have a place where you can place them safely.
• Sort through your coins to find out which coins you already have and wish to keep. This is important because you get to discard coins that you do not need.
• Go to the bank and trade in cash for rolls of coins. This can be your starting pool to which you can select which coins to collect.
