Seven aspects of coin collection(qian bi shou cang yao qi kan )

There are millions of coins issued at all times and in all over the world. Coin collectors can only collect them according to their ability. Collection experts believe that coin collection should pay attention to the following seven aspects:

(1) Whether the coin has face value. Those without face value can only be called "Zhang", but not "coin". Money must be or have been circulating as money.

(2) The subject matter of coins. Because everyone has different knowledge, taste and cultural taste, and different preferences for subjects, collectors can choose their favorite subjects for series collection. It's better to choose what the public likes, and the circulation can't be too large. This kind of variety has vitality.

(3) The chronological edition of coins. The chronology on coins refers to the year cast on coins. The value of coins with the same pattern and face value varies greatly due to different chronologies.

(4) The source of the coin. For example, silver yuan is divided into Yunnan dragon version, Beiyang dragon version, Jiangnan dragon version, etc.

(5) The shape of the edge of the coin. The shape of the tooth edge of coins can be roughly divided into five categories: plain edge, silk tooth edge, decorative edge, inscription edge and safety edge, which is an important basis for distinguishing different editions of coins.

(6) The process of making coins, whether the handwriting on coins is natural and fluent, and whether it is harmonious with the whole coin. The varieties with exquisite workmanship are easy to attract the favor of the market and have great value-added potential.

(7) The fineness of coins. The appearance of coins is divided by "Cheng". In fact, as long as 70% or 80% of the coins are new, they can be collected. If they are rare varieties, the quality is not good enough. Of course, 100% new is the best.

In short, the identification of coins need to "see" up and down, coin collectors often need to carry a magnifying glass.
