How to start a coin collection

WHERE TO GET COINS FOR YOUR COLLECTION


As a collector it is hard to find authentic and genuine coins in the market, here are the top avenues for building a collection:

 








  •  Trusted online marketplaces like indiancoins.com and mintageworld.com, which vet dealers and guarantee authenticity across British India, modern, world, error, and commemorative coins too
  • Renowned auction houses (Classical Numismatic Gallery, Todywalla Auctions) and specialist dealers (Marudhar Arts, Oswal Auctions) that publish searchable catalogs and host regular sales of ancient, colonial, and modern issues. 



  • Official sources such as RBI and state mint releases for limited-edition commemoratives
  • Trusted Facebook numismatic communities like GOLD HUNTERS, R.K.OlD COINS & NOTES OF INDIA, Viya Hobbies etc. (before dealing do a good background check of the seller and get reference of the sellers if possible)

  • membership in numismatic societies or collector clubs to access expert insights and exclusive offerings



  • Local coin shops, antique and pawn stores, as well as numismatic exhibitions and regional fairs—ideal for inspecting specimens in person, comparing prices, and networking with collectors.
