Gold And Silver Coin Collecting Article Of The Month

There are many ways to collect Charlotte gold. Some people have only a mild interest in these coins and may buy just one or two pieces. Other people are more serious and they have a large number of Charlotte issues in their collection. A small number of Charlotte collectors are obsessives who focus exclusively on these pieces and do not collect anything else. I would like to make some suggestions on how to collect Charlotte gold. In my experience, all of these ideas have merit and none is better than the other. It depends on the tastes and budget of an individual collector to determine which one(s) is right for him.
Buy US paper money.

An old practice to test whether a gold coin was counterfeit was to bite down on it. Since pure gold is relatively soft any base metals mixed with the gold to lessen its value will also harden the coin, and so make it harder to bite on. The majority of bullion counterfeits (of all types) are rare, and fairly easy to detect when comparing their weights, colors and sizes to authentic pieces. This is because the cost of reproducing any given coin precisely can easily exceed the market value of the originals.

Most importantly, collect paper money for fun. As a beginner, don't collect as an investment or for profit. Just buy the bank notes you like and have fun doing it!
Buy silver dollars for a great investment.
