5 tips to avoid coin collecting disaster and losses 

I started buying coins as an "investment" and after years of learning, earning an accounting degree, market investing, and real estate investing. I continue to buy coins as a collector. Nothing more. Every time my wife buys a pair of shoes, I buy a new coin.

I collect coins. I don't invest in them or buy them to sell them

it amazes me the body of knowledge filling the ranks among the YT stacking community. great share, destined to be a classic!

Thanks for posting this video. As a beginner who is just about to put a toe in the water, your advice will be taken to heart and mind. Cheers.

One of the best videos for guidance for any precious metals investor. The "Successful Series" part is my favorite because I have been doing this since I started collecting. The Perth Mint Lunar Series has a proven record of increasing in value and I try to buy a couple of rolls each year of the new release. I have almost doubled my money on the 2015 Year of the Goat as of two years after purchasing.

Hey Regal how have you been haven't seen your videos lately hope all is well. You've taught me allot with staking silver. This tax time I'm grabbing my first gold coin. Thanks for your videos

Some good insight, thank you!

My grand plan is to be a collector for 15 years without the pressure of being a seller, im loving not only picking the coins that i like the most but also betting on certain coins that i think will keep a long term and increased value. Sets are good as there will always be one star coin and hopefully the sum of all their parts will be greater than just an individual. Hopefully im building a collection that could rival in any small part the best of the best

thoroughly enjoy this video. thank you for taking the time to make it. Should be mandatory viewing for all collectors.

Huge like my friend! Thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful coins!

Another great video 👍 I adore the Silver Krugerrand, really bought into the tradition of it, and what it represents in the world of bullion coins. An absolutely iconic design, now in silver. The question I'd like to raise is ... did they really mint 1,000,000 of the 2017 with the anniversary privy mark, as there seems to be a conflict of opinion on how many were sold, as the initial premium on the coin was high, and the coin seemed to get a bad reception when it was launched. I'm not talking the proof issue, but the BU one.

I have found over decades of investing condition and mintage is key so agree with all you said Your guid e on sovs got me into the 2917 and 89 sovs I think was excellent advice

Just excellent overview excited you got me into 89 sovereign and now looking at 2017

Thanks for the information. I enjoyed your perspective and tips.

Thank you for your videos. Very informative and enlightening.

Great info Numi!!

I did not realize the Amount of information that one person needs to have on any one coin out herein the world and to think about the amount of coins / nusmatics I for one love the world of coin and that was just cause of a silver doller and half dollar when i was just a kid . With being super new to coin's I fell somewhat intimidated do to it can be easy to get swindled and be out a small fortune. Thinking twice about this now. Never the less thx. You for the content and show of some extraordinary collection of yours. 💯

Numi, thank you for the information I really appreciate it and all the coins that you showed there I have so well not all of them but then formation was great thank you. hope you have a great day . cheers

Just subscribed: splendid discovery!

Never had seen dutch mint coins really nice i have several 2014 5 oz libertads fits your mintage rule i also just bought another 10oz queens beast striking coin

Great video numi, all great tips. I often refer to crowd wisdom as the "borg mentality". It takes a bit of mastering sieving through the mishmash of info, but definitely worth keeping a finger on that information source pulse 👍

Awesome video, thanks so much :)

Great info! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent overview

I was trying to purchase Perth Mint lunar silver & purchased only when on sale (only once or twice in the last five years) - so ended up with more 2011 Canadian silver timber wolf 2011 & began a series & also switched to fractional lunar gold & & Korean mint 1/10 2017 gold rider & everything 1/25 Canada gold -

@numistacker I was wondering if you would advise me : on 1980s gold pandas would you recommend original packaging or NGC MS69? Thank you

Excellent video. I like especially your statement at the end, it´s true that we are part of a great community here

Great info. Thank you

usually when demand outstrips supply no matter what it is prices increase. until no ones buying then prices drop. say all of a sudden the market becomes more saturated prices will drop certain things have a true value and they will not drop below that point and i guess thats the price point you need to be getting in at. like buying a house before housing market tumbles thats problem with bubbles they burst. so getting in on bottom rung of the ladder always a smart move.

There's nothing wrong with buying coins for the sake of investment - money can be made from gold and silver bullion coins. But the true numismatist collects coins for the love of the coins themselves, their history, their designs and beautiful edges. The metals and content that make up the coins interest us and their unique marks and signatures as well as the fascinating process of coin minting.

Silver is silver gold is gold it will always hold value in weight especially fine silver

Excellent points - agree with all mentioned. I actually would add that the online community/market is different than the coin show/coin shop market. Something modern that sells well on eBay might be looked over 100s of times at a coin show full of 1800s coins the older collectors grew up dreaming about owning. Your points are accurate for our online community, but things in the coin show world seem far more complex.

Do you know what the deal is with the British Mint not having mintage #'s on the queen's beast coins? I haven't been able to find any information on this or why there is no record keeping of it. Thanks

Love this coin, purchased this from Mcm pf70 for 199.

Another great video, you should also do a watch update one. you had some a while back that where good.

I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

Every silver or platinum coin that Ive moved on ive not lost on, having said that, using the proceeds to purchase more expensive metals has required additional funds. An example for getting more than that you need is definately something I benefited from, was indeed the Queens Beasts series. Getting several sets of these, I was able to recycle complete sets that included several of the early ones from EU suppliers that didnt attract that UK rip off tax. Im pretty sure my one remaining set has cost me nothing.

Great information, thanks for sharing!

I Think you hit the nail on the head with this one

Lovely presentstion

when you purchase silver, for example one ounce of silver .999 or .9999 whichever the coin is will you always get whatever the amount is an ounce at the minimum for what silver per ounce is going for??? sorry if it sounds like a rookie question, just wondering

what do you think of the beatrix potter coins

Bonjour de France. To me, the "Queen's beasts" series is a "must have". The price of each coin has gone mad and that will be worst when "her majesty" won't be anymore. Get the 2022 10oz as soon as you can!!!!

not only do u have fine taste in gold and silver but i see fine time pieces as well.......AP Royal Oak ref 15500ST?? perhaps?

Very nice tips from a lot of experience.

Thank you

Is it worth buying the dutch 2017 dollar?

Excellent points. In my view, the "crowd wisdom" hype and effect may be the single most influential price factor in terms of short term appreciation of newly released coins. As I have already pointed out in Shadow Stacks' video discussion, aesthetically poor coin designs can and have been on occasion good short term flippers. Whether those coins with poor quality designs can withstand the test of time is yet to be seen in most cases. And of course, what constitutes aesthetically good or poor coin design is for the most part a subjective opinion as any coin / stacker forum or video channel is a testament of this fact. Bottom line, positive/negative hype can make and break the short term appreciation of a product. An example that comes immediately to mind is the SM Mint Lunar Skulls series. 2014 saw very positive hype and amazing short term appreciation while the following year there was lots of controversy over the 2 different versions minted by competing mints and the result was negative hype and ultimately poor performance of the 2015 edition in the aftermarket. Keep up the good work with the vids!

I like your advise I am beginning to by silver coin thank you for your tips it helps

great information. I most often look at mintage but also I have to really like the design.

How many mintage is consider low and how many high?

Great tips Numi, That mouse sure those look nice :-)

Спасибо за информацию 👍👋

really good video, very interesting.

I keep buying the 1994 d-day landings 50p because I like the design of the coin

very informative thanks for sharing

Do you think the value of the bullion sovereigns, half-sovereigns, etc. will be brought up at all by the desirability of the proof sovereigns this year, even if they don't have the same design (or low mintage)?

Thanks Numistacker you r great!!!

that's some fancy metal

Nice video. I think the Queen's Beasts may do well in the long term. I am new to stacking, however I plan to collect the entire QB series - right now all 3 designs in 1oz. bullion and the 1oz. silver Lion proof. May get the 1/4 oz. gold as well. Don't really care for the 10oz. SIlver Lion. Thanks Numi.

I buy bullion and coins... a bit of both is cool, etc

Great video numi

I think the queens beasts are stunning coins, they will very sought after in years to come 👌

I am collecting coins. I am all’s buying some as my main focus is the Olympic ones and Peter rabbit one

Thanks for the ha.com reference, great site......

Sir : do you know people collecting more contemporary « coins » (shape can vary ), like for an example the Mechanical from Mongolia (like the Bee, for an example )? I deeply love those new ones . As much as pre 1933 ones ... and the Queen beasts!!!!! And the new série form RCM (the Kraken)

what do think about bullion coins in a glas jar filled with argon gas

Great vid numi I do like the silver kruggerand but I ain't paying £100 for a BU one with a mintage of 1mil

I got 1972 and 1974 old coins help me how to sell

Great video my friend! Numi did I hear you correct, did you order/buy a few Dutch Lion Dollars? How did you do that? I had to order them for a few people who said they had difficulty ordering one.

i enjoy your presentation, how can i get some gold coin and at what price?

do u think the 20th anniversary silver britannia is worth getting its 120 thou mintage

I recently discovered 5 oz pandas not the insane mintages of one oz plus much higher def images and as you go older super packaging used to be wood boxes recent years plastic I saw as they get older prices are double or even triple so bought several years you sold me on the key sov years like 2017 where mintage are in the thousands not millions which I would never buy like You pointed out 8 million mintage of a panda

I stake all !

The 1/2oz mouse would currently be worth £500-£600 GBP + & maybe a lot more at auction, the last one that came up for auction sold for $1730 USD in an insane auction LOL

like the matt coin

I wish I’d never clicked on your video. I tried to buy a Libertad from Banamex in 2014, they weren’t able to get one and I had to settle for a Centenario instead. Gutted!

what are your thoughts on the Somalian Elephants

You sounded a lot like Shadow sticker when I was watching I thought it was another channel of his.

I fail at everything 100% of the time so don't worry too much.

Do you know why his name is numistacker Because he dont have to haggle

i only buy 1 ounce bullion coins maples eagles brittania longterm investment i do have a proof set circulation coins uk 1986 and 1 proof ww2 silver comemorative coin but otherwise i stick with bullion for longterm investment

My most valuable coin is a chuck e cheese token

It’s now 3 years in the future and so many people want nothing to do with pandas and who could blame them

i collect for Silver as for coin and just looking at it i care not

98% will loose money? Not if silver naturally goes up per OZ
