Attention has recently been cast on
coin collection as not only a hobby but also a lucrative investment. A series of events have linked a large variety of coins, ranging from the recently minted to medieval coins, being discovered, auctioned and even stolen. For instance, a
hoard of 15th-century coins was discovered in Scottish Borders.
Rare coins are now hot items in auctions and some could even be in your everyday change while a rare Bicentennial Quarter fetched $73 million. A new buzz in the cryptocurrency world indicates a
meme coin with significant growth potential. The attractiveness of coin hunting was illustrated when a massive
Kirkby Stephen silver coin was found in a field and termed a treasure. More such finds are projected, with the most recent one being a
Roman trove of coins unearthed during construction in the U.K. Such coins have fetched hefty sums, like a
Rare 1870 Double Eagle Coin that fetched $1.4 million at auction or the $1M worth of stolen coins recovered from
1715 Spanish treasure shipwrecks in Florida.
Fleets of treasure from the 1600s have been found in a German church statue. However, the real excitement in the market is coming from the discovery of coins with historical importance such as Viking era coins found in the
Isle of Man and Roman coins discovered in building projects. The flurry of activity surrounding these 'treasures' has inevitably led to illegal activities, as highlighted by cases of stolen coins from
18th-century shipwrecks off the Florida coast. But despite the criminal elements, the incessant
coin discoveries are presenting amazing opportunities for investors.
