Not all coins are created equal. Most coins will have both a numismatic value and a melt value. A numismatist is a coin collector, and the value of a coin to a collector may exceed how much the coin is worth in precious metal. This difference is tied up in the coin’s rarity, importance and condition.
When considering the purchase of a coin, it is important to know what the coin is for. A person who is a collector of coins for the interest in the history of coins is willing to make investments based more on numismatic value. A person who is purchasing coins as an important part of their savings and investments are inclined to buy coins with the least numismatic value.
