What is My Old Coin Worth?
Coins have been around for more than 5,000 years. Early Roman Emperors gave Silver coins that featured their likenesses to their best generals and troops as a reward for bravery. Coin collecting became popular in Europe in the 1500s. In the United States, collecting coins didn’t really begin until the 1850s but by 1950s, it was one of the most popular hobbies. Many children and parents amassed nice collections.
