Free Post: My hobby.

One cent, with the saying: "Economía es Riqueza". Coin from 1898.

Hi readers

This is my last post. I got delay with one of the posts, and this one must be about a free topic.
So Im going to talk about one of my hobbies that is directly related with numistics, that is the study, presenvation and collection of coins -any types of coins and paper money- but specially the oldest coins. After all, the numistics work with the logic of fetichism and collection as museums do.

On my personal collection  I have a narrow pool of coins. I collect out of circulation and modern coins. On my case, at least the most of them are Chilean coins, being the oldest one form 1898, and it was found from my mother at his work, around 2010. I remember when she give it to me, I was really excited, after all, it was a real old coin. Even when I know that there are older coins on the world, this was special because it came from a place real close to my house, also it show us how our coins had changed across the time, and this one was made at least 112 years ago when it arrived to my hand, and today this coins has 120 years old.

If we think carefully,  this coin is oldest that any of us, also, think on every hand that olded it, when it was used to bought things, and when it was forgotten under a parquet floor, until it was found from my mother. The things that this coin saw and heard. One hundred years of history that only this coin can tell.

I wish I had more coins like this one, but I know that some day I will found an oldest coin that will form part of my collection.

Also, I have to say that along the 2008, a lot of coins with the typographic error of Chiie was made. I have a lot of them, and Im still collecting them because they are valuable on the market of coins of collections.

Check your coins, maybe you have a little trasure in your pocket and you didnt knew.

Thats all pals <3
