Factors affecting coin collection(ying xiang qian bi shou cang de yin su )

Generally, coins are not exchanged according to their face value, and the collection value of coins is generally affected by the following factors:

(1) Time of issue and circulation of coins: generally, the longer the time of issue, the shorter the time of circulation, the greater the collection value. For example, before the Tang Dynasty, even before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the value of coins is very high.

(2) The number of coins issued is "rare is precious", and coins are no exception. The less money is issued, the higher its value.

(3) Denomination of money: Generally speaking, the higher the denomination of money, the greater its value. In particular, the value of money in circulation is always higher than or equal to the face value, because it still has real purchasing power, unlike stamps, which will fall below the face value due to too many issues.

(4) Materials used for making coins: coins made of precious metals such as gold and silver are generally more valuable than coins made of ordinary metals in the same period.

(5) The property of coins: the value of general circulation commemorative coins is higher than that of general circulation coins of the same denomination. Because the circulation of commemorative coins is to commemorate some important historical events, outstanding people or things of special significance, its design, production is exquisite, has a high artistic appreciation and collection value, and most of the commemorative coins are issued by quota, the number is limited, the appreciation potential is great.

(6) The appearance of coins: just like the collection of stamp products, the collection of coins also stresses the appearance of coins. Sometimes, the price of coins with good quality may be tens of times different from that of coins with different quality.
