Welcome to coin collecting. If you’re looking to enter into this amazing hobby and you want to know how to start a coin collection, here are a few essential coin collection tips, to help you get going:
- Decide which coins you would like to collect. You can collect coins by years or by countries. You can collect themed coins like coins that depict your hero or a subject you’re interested in, like nature or airplanes.
- Start with collecting coins that are available or in circulation and see if you like it. Collect the State quarters or ask from friends that travel abroad to bring you back some coins.
- Get a protective album or book where you can safely store your coin collection. These albums are great when you want to display your collection and they also keep the coins protected.
- Finish one set before moving on to the next. Once you start a collection, you can get easily tempted to get other coins and different themes. An organized collection of full sets is more valuable.
- When your coin collection starts to gain scope and value, you should think about safe storage. Coins are an easy target so make sure that your collection is kept in a well hidden place.

The Lincoln Cent was introduced to the Americans in 1909, the 100th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, and it is the current one cent coin of the US Dollar. The cent was designed by Victor D. Brenner and was the first circulating coin with an image of a president.
Many people wonder why Lincoln’s portrait is facing right when all other presidents on US coins face left. Well, there is no conspiracy theory here and Lincoln doesn’t face because of a law, but only because Brenner used a portrait of Lincoln that was facing right…
Before the new cents hit circulation, this is your chance to get the 1934 – 2008 Lincoln Cents collection. This is a massive coin set of 223 BU and Proof Lincoln Cents, magnificently displayed in 2 Dansco Supreme Albums. This historic US coin collection is sure to increase in popularity as we celebrate Lincoln's 200th Birthday and the Lincoln Cent's 100th Anniversary in 2009.
