There’s something about holding a piece of history in your hands that nothing else can quite compare to.

Luckily for you, in today’s post we’re going to be highlighting a few of our favorite coins that we think will fit in nicely for the collector who has been at this hobby for quite awhile just as well as it will work for those who are new to this type of collecting, so keep reading to learn more!

Why Collect Rare Greek Coins?

You Get Something Unique

Ever met someone else who has a Philip II Silver Tetradrachm? This ancient silver coin was featured in a book entitled 100 Greatest Ancient Coins and it’s a piece that’s truly beautiful and unique. The uniqueness of the coins you collect are only limited by how much time you’d like to spend looking for something that no one has. There are certainly incredible coins out there to be had, just waiting to be found.

You Have Something Your Friends Don’t

Perhaps your pals collect stamps or pinball machines. Maybe they’re also avid coin collectors. Either way, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have something in your collection that they don’t have in theirs. Owning unique pieces and finding coins that suit your interests is one of the most fascinating parts about collecting coins. For example, you may find that you are particularly drawn to shipwreck coins (and why not, because they often showcase some genuinely fascinating stories) or ancient Greek coins from a particular era. No matter what type of coin you like to collect, you can be certain that you’ll be entertaining family and friends with stories about their origins.

There’s a Particular Joy That Comes With Collecting

We touched on this point a bit above, but it’s true that there’s no other joy that’s quite like the joy you get from collecting coins. Let’s take a look at the example of shipwreck coins again. There’s a particular joy that you get when you add new pieces to your collection, sure, but imagine for a moment how elated you’ll be when you finally find a piece that slots perfectly into your collection, completing your search for coins from a particular era. Why you can imagine just how great that feeling is! Searching for a coin that completes your collection is fun, yes, but finally finding it and laying it out next to your other coins is truly a thing of beauty, offering an experience that’s unmatched by nearly anything else.
