Thanks to Jeremy for this guest Post
There are lots of hobbies that
people partake in during their lifetime. As a kid I collected a vast collection
of marbles during my youth, I had so many of them that I actually was able to
trade for the coveted steelies and cat’s eyes that helped me to win so many of
those backyard marble matches during my youth. Now that I’m an adult the
marbles have taken a back seat to another hobby, collecting coins. Although I
do have to admit I do have a few of my favorite marbles still displayed in a
glass mason jar in my den.
Collecting coins is a great hobby
that not only brings me joy, but also is an investment. I not only derive pleasure from finding the
perfect coin to add to my collection, but I’m growing the wealth of my hobby at
the same time. There are many advantages of taking up this hobby as coins of
all value are available on the market, and it is possible to find coins from
just about any time period. Another great thing about collecting coins is that
you can get started on a relatively low budget, as your income increases with
age, you can continue to invest in coins at an increased increment.
I began my collection by deciding
to invest in Great Southern Coins Silver Maples. Right now silver
coin collecting is in popular demand. Precious metals have always been a great
investment, and honestly most people think of gold when they think of precious
metals, but guess what, silver is also a very desirable metal to invest
in. By buying silver coins and investing
in silver you have the opportunity to own a rather under-valued and
increasingly scarce asset, one that
could explode in price at any time.
When considering investing in
silver coins, some of the coins with great long term potential worth are that
of the Canadian Wildlife series. This series started in 2011 with the wolf coins and are limited to a million coins per
issue. They also have issued coins depicting grizzly bears, cougars, and my
next purchase the moose.
