As I discovered numismatics
I have, like a real numismatist (I want to believe that I can call myself so) has a lot of friends and acquaintances with whom we have a common passion - coins. But I, and all my friends collectors started with something small. Once the first time I heard this word, numismatics. Each has a unique story about how they came to this hobby. For many, this history stretches from early childhood. Someone's parents for a birthday album with coins, and he started to get into collecting, look for coins to fill your album. Someone found out about such things as numismatics from parents or read in a book, immediately got the idea and decided to learn more about it. And someone is already in middle age met a man with a passion for numismatics, I have heard from him many interesting things about this hobby and also joined the topic.
But today I want to tell you my story about how I discovered numismatics. However little did I know what the word means, however, I generally such word did not know, when I was about nine years old, but in that moment, I started my collection and my way numismatist. As a rule, any collection begins with the first coin, stamp or banknote. Yes, even with the first wrapper, as beloved children of a Hedgehog.
My first coin, or rather coins I got from my grandmother. She, like all normal grandmother, went to the cottage, complained of health and was watching the news. In General, her coins for obvious reasons were not really needed, and she decided to give them to me. Besides, I was already grown up, finished the third grade and has become quite conscious man who knows what money is and would appreciate them. No album my grandmother certainly was not, the coin was just lying in aluminum cans. It's the times of the USSR with different new year pictures. Apparently it was a gift, like those that now give to children in school for the new year and it has kept sweets. At the bottom lay a piece of paper on which was written what kind of coin is dedicated to, as well as the denomination and year of issue. How is it good that now, instead of having to record his entire collection to the sheet, you can simply access in your personal Cabinet Hobby Keeper. The piece was lying loose coins, they think it was about 50-60 pieces. All of this was a commemorative coin, quite modern and still running. Most of all there was a dozen of the old style, large, heavy and consisting of two parts. For some reason they still make me nostalgic.
There were coins from the series “Russian Federation”, “Ancient towns of Russia”, “Patriotic war of 1812.” etc. Then I was just struck by this diversity. It would seem that it was very similar to each other, quite ordinary coin, a trifle, which is full in any purse. But each of them was special. On each was a picture and every meant anything.
Needless to say, I didn't know about the coins anything. For some time my “collection” was just lying in the Bank on the top shelf, slowly covered with dust. Sometimes I got to the Bank, saw the coins, sorting them in every possible way on the floor, sorted. But I extremely didn't like them then each time had to remove. This problem had to be solved, and my dad went to the store for the album for my coins.
It was in the shop, I saw a lot of books devoted to numismatics, various albums, catalogues, gift sets and many other different things related to numismatics, the purpose of which I was not entirely clear, but I knew exactly what reason they are needed. And that's when I realized how numismatics complex, diverse and interesting case. Now, if you fond of collecting and started to collect coins, you can keep your personal coin collection in the Internet site of the Hobby Keeper. Programs on a PC, smartphone or tablet.
And since any old, rare or just something remarkable coin fell into my hands, I put in the same album, which is still with me. And how many coins are particularly valuable to me, I jot them in my personal collection for a Hobby Keeper and adds to them a detailed description and photos. Using the functionality of the personal account I can at any time to share their wealth anywhere and from any device. At the moment there are already more than two hundred coins, this commemorative coins of Russia and the Soviet Union, ancient and foreign, and the price of the most expensive of them comes up to 2000 rubles.
