- I am 37 year old happily married with two wonderful girls. Love hiking and anything the outdoors has to offer.
- About My Coin Collection
- My Dad was a coin collector and he sadly passed away when I was 16 years old. Sadly his collection was sold off too. I have very fond memories of him sitting at the table going through coins. Long story short my Mom just gave me a box she never saw before. It was another part of his collection. Everything is so neat and organized. All coins are listed. I am interested to learn more about them and see what I have. I have pennies to half dollars starting from 1903 to maybe the 60's.I haven't counted but I would say hundreds.

Dear Tami,
Sorry to hear about your Dad.
I collect paper notes and coins of the world. I also keep my notes in an album and write details like country,denomination,value and year on a sticker in each note as my son who it also interested in collecting will not have trouble later in knowing about each note just like your dad. He did a good thing. I thing he was a very organised person.
You should follow in his footsteps and increase the collection.
If I can be of any help to you do let me know.
Regards,
Rajiv Tandon

Dear Tami,
People say that you should not clean coins as then their value decreases but once I put all my old coins in a bucket of soapy water and left them for an hour or so and the scrubbed them with the palm of my hands so that no scratch comes on the surface and then washed them in tap water, left them to dry in the sun and kept then in their respective boxes. (I washed each coin one at a time)
Do not take this hasty decision, ask other members ,surf internet (how to clean coins).
Moreover big collectors say Do Not Clean Coins As They Loose Their Value
Regards,
Rajiv
