Coin collecting has captivated the imaginations of hobbyists for centuries. Not only is collecting rare coins a pleasant way to pass time, but it can be a lucrative activity. Some numismatists have collections comprising over a thousand coins that are worth a substantial amount of money.

While you’re not restricted to collecting any particular type of coin, you should choose your rare coins wisely to increase the value of your collection. Not all coins are equal in value and there are several factors that affect the worth of rare coins, including their historical relevance, condition and demand.

The Scoin Shop offers a wide selection of gold and silver coins, many of which are rare. Peruse our ranges of Mandela coins , Natura coins and Cow Parade coins to find rare coins to add to your collection.

Why buy rare coins?

Many people purchase rare coins to add to the prestige of their coin collections. The number of coins that have been minted throughout history means that coin collections can differ greatly from each other and collectors are constantly competing for the most desired collection. Numismatists in particular enjoy discovering and collecting rare coins from all over the world.

While many people buy rare coins for the joy of collecting, investors can also benefit from collecting valuable rare coins. In most cases, the rarer a coin is, the more it is worth. An excellent example of this is the Krugerrand . Thousands of bullion Krugerrands are minted each year and are priced at the value of the gold that they contain. However, each year, a limited number of proof Krugerrands are struck. Because there are far fewer of them available, proof Krugerrands are worth more than their bullion counterparts, even though they contain a similar amount of gold.

Where can I buy rare coins?

As their name suggests, rare coins are often not easily available. It is very seldom that an authentic rare coin will still be in circulation. While there are many different places that one can buy rare coins, it is recommended that you only purchase them from a reputable rare coin specialist. If you do not have extensive experience in valuating rare coins, you could end up paying more than the actual value of the coin.
