A combination of finding and buying coins can be a good way to build your collection. Before adding a coin to your collection, consider the following:

Is the coin appealing to you? How lustrous is it? There is no way to restore a coin’s shininess. Is it damaged? Scratches, bag marks, staple marks, and corrosion will decrease a coin’s value. How worn is it? Wear tends to be the biggest factor in determining a coin’s grade.
