My Coin Diplomacy

Coin collecting was the hobby of Kings. Now coin collection or numismatic has grown as a great hobby of millions of collector around the world. You can start this hobby collecting coins that find around you. Later you can ask your friends for coins buy coins from vendors, exchange coins with other collectors. Here I am buying coins and selling the extra ones I come across. You can buy from me and offer me coins that you have in spare!

Are you a coin collector or a collector who collect coins for your school projects? Then you buy 3 – 5 packets of coins from me or other collectors and arrange them date wise, country wise or theme wise. Now you have got a valuable coin collection.

Coins are very good collectibles. Coins last very long, and its value will increase day by day. The coins I bought in 1990s cost around 10-20 times today. Yes it is an investment for future.

India has got a great coin heritage. The history of Indian coinage starts around 400 years back. There are coins from our kings, British, Portuguese, Greek and other invaders.

History of stamp collecting

Postage stamp collecting began at the same time that stamps were firstTop-1 issued by their country, and by 1860 thousands of collectors and stamp dealers were appearing around the world as this new study and hobby spread across Europe, European colonies the United States and other parts of the world. The first postage stamp, the Penny Black, was issued by Britain in 1840 and pictured a young Queen Victoria. It was produced without perforations (imperforate) and consequently had to be cut from the sheet with scissors in order to be used. While unused examples of the "Penny Black" are quite scarce, used examples are quite common, and may be purchased for $20 to $200, depending upon condition.
