Valuable Coin Collection Information

When I was a little girl, my Grandad would give me coins from his coin collection so I could start my own. I’ve held onto that collection of coins my Grandad gave me, but I never really knew what to do with them—until now. I always assumed coin collecting was either too expensive or too complicated, but this audiobook completely changed my perspective. It breaks everything down in a way that makes it feel more doable, even for beginners. The tips on spotting rare coins in everyday change were fun. I also found the information on how coin collections grow in value over time fascinating. I finally feel like I have a plan for my Grandad’s coins, and I’m even excited to start adding to the collection myself!
