Buying and Selling Gold Coins as a Hobby
Posted by GuestPoster in Hobbies and Crafts, Personal Finances
With gold prices soaring, interest in gold coins is rising as well.
The history of gold coins goes back to the Egyptian pharaohs around 2,700 B.C., when discs of glittering gold were made primarily as gifts. It would be another couple of thousand of years before gold coins became commonly used as currency around 640 B.C. This lasted until the early part of the 20th century. Gold coins are still struck, but mostly for investment purposes and are not meant for circulation.
If you’re interested in buying and selling gold coinsm, the American Eagles are a good place to start. Other popular types U.K. and Australian Gold Sovereigns, Canadian Maple Leafs and, of course, the South African Krugerrand. Before you get started, pick one type or area to focus on and do your research. Joining a numismatic society or club is also a great way to start your hobby on the right foot.
