Multi-view-minted Luxembourg 2009 2€ commemorative coin (LËTZEBUERG, UEM (l’Union économique et monétaire). Due to special laws requiring that every coin bear the incumbent Grand Duke’s portrait, the Luxembourgish edition of the common €2 commemorative coin differs slightly from the others in addition to the translated inscriptions, since two latent image of the Grand Duke’s portrait were added (as required by national law). The method used (multi-view-minting) was even more sophisticated than the one used in 2007, as portraits of the Grand Duke from the left and the right could be seen, depending on which way one tilted the coin.

First Spouse Gold Coins – Higher Prices Impacting Sales

And you thought only the Presidents had a commemorative set of coins.  The first lady get herself in the mint as well.

The U.S. Mint recently released pricing for the next coin in the First Spouse Gold Coin Series. Once again the prices have been raised over the prior issue. The continuing increase in prices are clearly having an impact on sales

The U.S. Mint recently released pricing for the next coin in the First Spouse Gold Coin Series. The Elizabeth Monroe coins will be priced at $619.95 and $599.95 for proof and uncirculated coins, respectively. This represents a large price increase in pricing over the previous coin that will likely impact sales.

The First Spouse Gold Series was met with strong popularity when the initial two coins were released. The coins honoring Martha Washington and Abigail Adams sold out at the U.S. Mint within less than one day. The following coin honoring Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty similarly sold out within less than one day, even though the Mint had set strict ordering limits of one coin per product per customer. Each of these coins had been offered at a price of $429.95 and $410.95 for proof and uncirculated coins, respectively.

The fourth coin honoring Dolley Madison was met with a more tepid response. Due to the increasing price of gold, the prices were raised to $529.95 and $509.95 for proof and uncirculated coins, respectively. This higher offering price served to temper demand for the coins. Even after several months of sales, the coins have not reached sell out levels.

Since each coin contains one half ounce of gold, the Mint must increase offering prices on the coins as the price of gold rises. Every time this happens, more and more collectors of the series are effectively priced out of the market. Perhaps more than any other recent series, the popularity is linked to the rise and fall of gold.

In order to enhance you set of mint proof coins, it might be helpful to understand how you are collecting so you will know what sphere of knowledge you need to accumulate before buying coins.

What Kind Of Coin Collector Are You?

Casual coin collecting

The most ordinary type of coin collector is the casual collector. Casual collectors are both kids and adults. They collect random coins because they like the fun of it. The casual coin collector does not spend as much money on buying and preserving coins as a more advanced coin collector. Casual coin collectors usually have interest in coins with a special meaning to them, like for instance a coin minted in their year of their birth. Casual collectors often get hold of more interesting pieces as gifts from friends or family members. The gift of a rare coin has transformed many casual collectors to curious collectors instead.

Curious coin collecting

When a collector goes further than just circulation finds and getting gifts. He develops more of an interest in coins and becomes more a curious collector. The curious collector will buy some inexpensive coins, maybe look around coin shops or look at coins on eBay or other related internet sites. That way a survey of potentially interesting areas of coin collecting is made, and as the curious coin collector interacts with more seasoned collectors, he is bit by bit learning the trade of buying or selling coins. Like for instance studying coin books before making any serious decisions about buying expensive coins. At a point most curious collectors learn enough to become an advanced coin collector.

Advanced coin collecting

Every advanced coin collector is a unique coin collector. Some are dedicated generalists looking for a few examples of all kinds of coins. If they do have enough resources, this can result in an astounding collection, as that of King Farouk of Egypt, who collected everything he could get his hands on.

Many coin collectors are completists who want an example of everything within a certain set. For instance Louis Eliasberg was the only coin collector thus far to assemble a complete set of known coins of the United States. Other coin collectors focus on coins of a certain nation or historic period. And some collect coins from various nations or settle on error coins or exonumia like tokens and medals. As you can see, it can vary a lot.

At the highest levels of coin collecting, it is a highly competitive sport. It can lead to astronomical prices as enthusiastic collectors struggle for the very best examples of each date and mint mark combination.

Historical coin collecting

Coin collectors of ancient and medieval coins are more interested in historical significance than other coin collectors. The coins of Byzantine, Roman, Indian, Greek, Celtic, Merovingian, Parthian, Ostrogothic and ancient Israelite origin are among the most popular ancient coins collected. Specialties tend to vary a lot, but the common approach is collecting coins minted during a particular emperor’s time in power. A completist would for example strive for a representative coin from each emperor.

National coin collecting

Usually coin collectors of national coins specialize in the coins of their own country. A common way to collect national coins includes collecting one of every date and mint mark for a particular series. This is termed collecting by type. For instance a date set in Britain may include one Queen Victoria large penny for each year, 1837-1901. In another example a U.S. type set might include an example of each variety of each denomination produced. Most coin collectors of national coins create unique combinations of date, mint mark and type sets.

Error coin collecting

Collecting error coins is a modern development made doable through the automation of coin manufacturing processes. Coin collectors of ancient and medieval coins; accept coins with errors because manual coin manufacturing processes lend unique features to each coin struck.

Examples of coin errors could be repunched mint marks, doubled dies, double strikes, overdates, off metal coins, clipped coins, displaced or off center coins, and different denominations on two sides of one coin.

World coin collecting

World coins are collections of relatively recent modern coins from nations around the world. Geography is often the engine for this type of collector; he can travel around the world through his coin collection. Many collect by subject, for instance collecting coins from around the world featuring animals.

World coins are usually inexpensive and may be a good starting point for children. Most children find foreign coins by looking under change-to-cash machines, where customers throw away assorted coins found in their penny jars. It is possible to find coins from all over the world, ranging from Canada, to South Africa, to Korea.
