Rare Collectable

Coin Collecting Can be Fun, Lucrative and Educational

People engage in hobbies at all ages and some of those hobbies include collecting interesting and sometimes valuable objects such as rare or foreign coins or rocks or unusual looking junk that poses as interesting conversation

pieces and works of art. Some people are so passionate about their hobbies that they become experts and use their knowledge or talent to earn a living or simply share with others.

Coin collecting is a common hobby, especially among children, with some of them growing into coin dealers that cater to those who share their interest. Coin dealers spend a lot of time

searching and researching and attending coin

shows to find the collectable money with the most value and they use a method called coin grading to determine a coin’s value. The value of a state quarter can vary depending on it’s age, type and wear and tear such as nicks or grooves or if it is worn down around the edges.

Many coin dealers also buy coins, but you should be careful about who you sell them to. A local pawn shop is probably not a good idea, but attending a coin show is a great idea.

Coin grading is available and you can mingle and network with other dealers and collectors.

If you are interested in coin collecting, but not sure where to go or what to collect, quarters are a good start as well as foreign coins and reading publications such as CoinWorld.com will give you information and ideas. I collect mainly state

quarters, but I also hang on to anything I find that is really old, rare, foreign or all three combined.

You should note, if you do not already know, that any collectable money, coin or currency, is not worth more than it’s face value if it is not uncirculated with the exception that an uncirculated coin ends up in circulation and it does happen and a person with a good eye will catch it. I have received a few rare, collectable coins during money transactions while shopping. It’s rare that it happens, but it is very exciting when it does.

Coin collecting can be a lot of fun and lucrative.

Rare Collectable And Soulful : Volume 1 $10.49 Rare Collectable And Soulful : Volume 1

Rare Collectable and Soulful, Vol. 1 $16.38 From the inception of Britain's Northern Soul club scene onward, the RCA label adorned more crowd-favorite singles than seemingly any other label, but for years none of the company's truly rare classics ever appeared on CD, making the 1997 release of Rare Collectable and Soulful, Vol. 1 a real event: Not only was compiler Ady Croasdell granted access to RCA's vaults, but among the 30 master tapes he brought back, 13 tracks were previously unreleased. The end result remains one of the gems of the vast Kent catalog, as well as one of the seminal Northern Soul collections ever issued -- truly essential listening for anyone with even a passing interest in the classic soul of the mid- to late- '60s. Highlights include the Cavaliers' "Ooh It Hurts Me," Lorraine Chandler's "What Can I Do?," Sharon Scott's "(Putting My Heart Under) Lock and Key," and Roy Hamilton's "Crackin' Up Over You." ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Rare Collectable and Soulful, Vol. 2 $16.38 Sam Cooke to the contrary, RCA wasn't known as a soul powerhouse in the 1960s, but it did issue its share of recordings in the style. This 24-track compilation doesn't have any hits, although there are little-known outings from Johnny Nash, the Exciters (long after the "Tell Him" days), Roy Hamilton, and ex-Oriole Sonny Til; in fact, about half of it was previously unreleased. A lot of it was produced in New York and Detroit (the Motor City outings largely generated by the Pied Piper production team), and it's largely upbeat, mid- to uptempo, acceptable but unexceptional soul. That's the kind of style, of course, which is so beloved by northern soul mavens, who will want this for the sheer rarity of the material if nothing else. The average soul fan should pass. If you find yourself in between, you may find it useful to know that the better tracks include Lorraine Chandler's gutsy version of "You Only Live Twice" (yes, the same James Bond theme that was a hit for Nancy Sinatra), Hamilton's version of Bacharach-David's "Reach Out for Me," and Nash's Drifters-type go at his own composition "What Kind of Love Is This" (which would be a hit for Joey Dee). ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
