Where can I find rare coins?
Visit auction houses, antique stores, pawnshops, and coin collecting clubs to find rare coins for sale. This is the easiest way to locate a rare coin, but, of course, it won’t always be affordable. Try searching once you have a small collection of your own and are interested in expanding your hobby.

Always keep your coins as safe as possible. Either have a safe or store them at a bank safety deposit box. This way, if the coin is ever lost or stolen or even altered to change its appearance, the coin can always be traced if resubmitted through PCGS Secure Plus.

Do you know the rules of coin collecting?
To become similarly knowledgeable in a larger field of study (such as all branch mint US gold coins produced between 1838 and 1907) requires many more years. Becoming a well-versed specialist will allow you to level the playing field between you and dealers and it should enable you to make better purchases.
How long does it take to collect 10, 000 coins?
Understand if you are new to coin collecting and you know next to nothing about coins and the coin market, you have no business purchasing $10,000+ items. I would strongly suggest that you start small and take at least three to six months to study the market. Once you feel more comfortable, you can take a bigger plunge into the coin market.
