Numismatic (coins and notes) investment

@ Nifty- Option and exceltrader bhai
Can you tell how much commemorative coins appreciated those minted during 1990-2000.
Well, i understand that it should be taken as a hobby. And currently price discovery is in hands of buyer's.
As a GK i want to ask.
Hi
As posted above only UNC and proof varieties appreciates. For the normal commemorative coins collected from the circulation, they only fetches the price that the other party (buyer) is willing to pay. If you want to get some idea of the price of these commemorative coins (normal ones) then ask or visit some coin dealers for their price list, and whatever price is quoted reduce it by 50%. For example if a coin of 5 R is quoted at 25 R then its buyer value should be about 12-15 R. This is not a general rule but just to get an idea OR the other way you can simply ask a dealer that you want to sell some coins that you have, and he will let you know at what price he is willing to buy. (BTW I have not accounted for the bargaining that can or will be done by both buyers and sellers :D)

I will again repeat that it is a buyers world not a sellers world. So be happy and feel pleasure of your possession whatever your have.

Cant say for the value of coins of 1990-2000 decade, as I have not purchased any coins for last 20-25 years, so no idea, only collected from normal circulation. Previously I used to buy some coins or coins set from Mint as well but discontinued, as the prices they charge were exorbitant and were not in my budget, or you can say that I am not that serious coin collector :D :lol:

Hi XUV

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

You have a very good collection of 5R and 10R. I will be having only a few among these coins, actually I am not collecting coins seriously now, (since last 10-12 years)

Always keep some extra coins of same issue as it will help you to exchange with other coins or sell

BTW what is your place of residence. I am in Delhi NCR.

@ NiftyOption
You posted prices for many different coins. What variety of coins (and also which denomination) will fetch this much price. UNC, Proof or the normal one (of daily circulation, though may not be available now) and of which mint.
niftyexceltrader,

i am not recommend any particular type UNC ...PROFF ....

it is only depend upon

1.Scarecity
2.Demand
3.Attractive History

so very difficult to say UNC only or Proof
some times normal coins will become rare .....

it is depend upon a person's experience in this field ...

note : this is not so easy to get rarest coins very easy in normal circulation

actually this is " King of all Hobbies "

it also like stock market .....number of stocks ....how to find a multi baggier stock ? very difficult and investment is also need

like that in numismatic world also like that .....

human nature is like that not much effort we get some coins in normal circulation with very low investment ....we expect very very rare coin and that should me in millions of rupees cost ..... i am not commenting any body but it is a general attitude ..... but we must think our attitude and rectify our mistakes ( psychological ) with introspection only .....truth is bitter always

A very good link about coins collection and also good thread, full of information. I happened to be a coins and stamps collector in my school/college days, also won some prizes for taking part in our college Fine Arts Club and this thread gave me remembrance of those old days.
