RE: How I Collect Coins
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
At one point I was thinking about collecting the replicas instead, buying them directly at China via aliexpress. I searched thru the sites and considered that replicas differ - and it would be not easy to get a good copy... I opted out of spending money for several tries, with no guaranteed result of getting a good copy instead of shit. So I never tried... I am still in love with the old coins, but... seems nowadays it became harder and harder to get original stuff. Sometimes near impossible. The number of people desiring it is simply incomparable with the amount of stuff that have been survived to nowadays. Alas.

When I was born, there were 3.6 billion people in the world. Now there are 8 billion of us. People are doing better. More people collect coins. It is therefore of course more difficult to find coins.
That is why there are also fakes that are meant to harm collectors. However, I also have in my collection counterfeits created during the period of validity of the imitated coins.
English is not my native language. Sometimes I probably express myself imprecisely.
My native is Russian. But thanks to English,-- it helps a lot to communicate all over the world! 🍻 !BEER
I am a Czech. I speak and understand Russian quite well. Tomorrow I will write an article about how I started collecting coins.
And you already did. Thank you for that. Looking forward! https://ecency.com/silvergoldstackers/@trautenberk/how-i-started-collecting-coins

I thank you.
That's nice. Counterfeits are another interesting ball game then replicas. I've been to museums where counterfeits are hold at face value and declared as such. Every coin has it's story. Replicas have a rather short one.
English is not my native language either, so we're probably two blind people with the same cane.
