I was watching this show called Fringe, and one of the characters at the beginning of this season was always holding a piece of coin—it was a quarter. It had sentimental value as he intimately comments because it was given to him by his father when he was just 8 years old. So 2 decades past, the value of the coin increased. At some point he got rid of it, sold it and by the 3rd season of the series, he came back and bought it again from the place he sold it from.
This made me think, how much I’ve been educated when it comes to coin collecting hobbies. A few months ago, I read a book called Dear John. John’s father was obsessed with coins. It was their only means of communicating as a father and son. His father (John’s) would even go out of the country, fly thousands of miles to attend conventions and buy these now rare bullion coins. They buy bullion coins, sometimes buy gold bullion coins, sometimes they get gold bullion to where they attended a convention. Now I think it’s pretty common to get the gold ones and the silver ones. What are rare are the platinum made bullion coins which cost more and the appreciation cost rate will be higher than the usual.
