Hello friends, it’s your junior numismatist Cooper again \ud83d\udc3e! Think of it like baking:<\/p>\n When only 12 cookies<\/strong> come out of the oven, they sell out in a flash. Everyone wants one, but there just aren’t enough. That’s what makes them special (and yes, I’d do almost anything for one of these cookies! \ud83d\udc36). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n On the other hand, if the baker makes 12,000 cookies<\/strong> , everyone gets one. They’re still delicious, but not rare. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n It\u2019s the same with coins:<\/p>\n Low circulation<\/a> = scarcity = high demand among collectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n High circulation = many pieces in circulation = usually only precious metal value.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n My humans told me, however, that a small print run<\/a> should never be the sole reason for a purchase<\/strong> . Many other criteria play a role, for example: <\/p>\n Conservation status and grading<\/p>\n<\/li>\n historical significance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Demand<\/a> in the collector market<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Rarity within a series<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n We’ll discuss these points in more detail in one of my next lessons. \ud83d\udc3e<\/p>\n Coin mintage numbers are a key to properly understanding rarity and collectible value.<\/strong> But they’re only part of the whole. Those who collect wisely always consider the bigger picture. <\/p>\n Paw-five \ud83d\udc3e and see you soon, Larissa Wasserthal writes for Wasserthal RareCoin.Store about modern numismatic gold coins, grading<\/a> , rarity, and collector value. In Cooper’s Coin Academy, she combines numismatic expertise with easily understandable explanations for collectors. <\/p>\n Cooper is the Labrador of Wasserthal RareCoin.Store and the junior numismatist of Cooper’s Coin Academy<\/strong> . In his lessons, he explains the basics and connections surrounding coin collecting in an understandable and sometimes slightly unusual way. \ud83d\udc3e<\/p>\n Further lessons on mintage, rarity and collector value can be found in the Cooper’s Coin Academy<\/strong><\/a> .<\/p>\n Related to this lesson: Why a gold coin can be sought after by collectors despite a high mintage<\/strong><\/a> \u00b7 Don Cooperito and the half-year mintage<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cooper’s Coin Academy \ud83d\udc36\u2728 Lesson of the Day: Mintage Numbers \u2013 why circulation numbers are so important Hello friends, it’s your junior numismatist Cooper again \ud83d\udc3e!
