One of the most popular hobbies in modern Russia is collecting commemorative coins. The "hunt" for coins has become a truly massive phenomenon, not only among children and young people, but also among older people. In addition, the Bank of Russia regularly issues new commemorative coins, thereby increasing the interest of collectors.
It is necessary
- - a list of commemorative coins issued in Russia;
- - magnifier;
- - album for coins.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide which commemorative coins you will collect. They differ, firstly, in face value, and secondly, in the mint at which they were made. Commemorative coins with denominations of 1, 2 and 10 rubles are coming into circulation. Most often, collectors are interested in bimetallic coins with a denomination of 10 rubles.
Step 2
Find and print an up-to-date list of Commemorative Coins issued. Such a catalog can be viewed on the website of the Central Bank or on Internet resources dedicated to numismatics. Mark the coins you already have on the printed list. Please note that outwardly almost identical coins can be produced both at the Moscow and St. Petersburg Mint. So, for example, until 2010 inclusive in Russia, 71 commemorative coins with a denomination of 10 rubles were issued, but if we take into account the circulation of different mints, then there are already 92 such coins. magnifying glass.
Step 3
Buy a handy coin album. By organizing your collection, for example, by series, you can navigate through it faster. In shops for numismatists, you can find a special album for the collection of anniversary ten-ruble coins, which differs from the usual one by the presence of a list of coins and signatures under each pocket indicating which coin to put there.
Step 4
Use every legal way to add missing Commemorative Coins to your collection. First, you can get them as change. Very often, such coins are given by minibus drivers and conductors on buses and trams. Secondly, always keep a commemorative coin you come across, even if you already have one in your collection. In this case, you can always exchange them with a collector like you. Finally, the most expensive way is to purchase the coin you need in a numismatist store or on a thematic forum. Some commemorative coins were issued in such a small circulation that they quickly disappeared from circulation, settled in collections, or were bought up for resale. Unfortunately, such coins can only be bought.
