So You DO Want to have a Coin Collection!

I remembered in my memory collection the other day that I had a grandson who has some stamps and coins in a collection. So when I said that that was not what I wanted to do NOW, I also realized that there are others who do. I hope that my grandson, if he continues collecting either stamps or coins or both -- that he soes so because he wants to NOT because someone else wants him to. I also remembered that he has a great comic book collection of which he is very proud and keeps in protective covers in a special chest. I think that he may have the science of collections already in place. Good for him--- most of my early childhood collections ended up broken, very used and never in the original box.

I also talked with someone the other day who has a collection of coins that he has had for years and is not sure what he even has now. So I went in search of an article that dealt with a coin collection and something about tips for getting kids into collecting. I found one of each that I will share with you in this addition of the blog.

As I have been exploring the ideas of collecting and looking over my own assortment of pieces that others have added to something that I just "loved" at some time, I remembered my interest also in de-cluttering my house and my life. I have two brothers who have been selling on eBay for years. I have always said----"I am going to do that myself". But like so many other things that I have said that I was going to do "someday", I never have gotten around to it. But I still have the intent and I have books, magazines and programs for doing it and I am still fascinated with the eBay experience.

Some of you might have the same thoughts---"I bet I could sell Aunt Ethel's collection of Christmas ornaments or Grandpa's set of tools on eBay". So I have decided to start sending some information on this blog about using eBay for either starting, adding to or selling your collections. The concept of doing eBay instead of having a garage sale is so much more appealing to me. So today, the information that I am sharing with you is on coin collecting and starting kids on the same. Then start looking for some resources for geting started on eBay in the future.
Get Collected!
