<p><img class="left" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/coincollecting/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/rarecoins1.jpg" alt="Rare Coins" width="220" height="165" />There is something very special about rare coins. No matter where in the world they came from, they usually have a very rich history and collectors will search to the ends of the earth to find that special rare coin that will complete their collection. Many of these coins will go at a premium price at auction, worth far more than they ever were when they were in circulation. Let’s look at a few of the different types of rare coins.</p>
<p>First up, you have rare coins from ancient civilizations. Whether it was an early coin from Mesopotamia, a Grecian coin or a Roman coin, these are usually the most valuable. However, they are also the ones that may be copied. If you see a lot of coins and the seller claims that they are all authentic, but the price seems too low, you may want to rethink your purchase. Truly ancient rare coins are typically very expensive. It is all too easy nowadays to replicate these coins and mass produce them.</p>
<p>Next, look for coins that are oddly shaped or made from rare materials. This shows that they were handmade and are typically older in origin. These are not very easy to find, but Greek coins are the perfect example of this. These rare coins were handmade and will frequently be just a little off of perfect. Some may even include the maker’s signature or mark, and these are very valuable indeed.</p>
<p>Other rare coins that are fun to collect coincide with specific eras in history. For example, many collectors look for coins produced during the French Revolution. This was the time period when the first Marianne’s were made, and they are incredibly collectible. Other examples would include confederate coins, from the US civil war, or coins that were produced by governments that are now extinct.</p>
<p>Whenever you are shopping for rare coins, it also pays to look for any errors that may be present. These are usually incredibly valuable, and although they are hard to find, it is very special when you do come across one. Examples of error coins include coins that are missing something from a design, or ones that may have blatant errors. Examining coins for these flaws is always interesting.</p>
<p>The rare coins that are the most valuable are usually the ones where only a few are left. Using the Morgan Silver dollar as an example, there is one variety where only a handful are accounted for. This gives collectors a challenge and the ability to experience the thrill of the hunt as they try to uncover that incredibly rare coin.</p>
<p>If you have not yet begun collecting rare coins, it’s a good idea to start thinking about which era or type of coin you might be interested in. For example, many collectors start off by picking the year they were born, or the coin that commemorates an event that is special to them. Once you get started with rare coin collecting, you’ll see just how exciting this hobby can be.</p>

<p>When it comes to a delightful collectible that won’t take up a lot of space, miniature collectibles are the ideal answer. These tiny little works of art require a great deal of craftsmanship and many of them feature amazingly lifelike details. You can find thousands of different kinds of miniature collectibles and because they are so small, you can easily collect thousands of them and still have room to spare. Let’s take a look at the different kinds of miniature collectibles that are available.</p>
<h3>1. Glass Collectibles</h3>
<p>Glass miniature collectibles are becoming increasingly popular and the way that they are produced is simply astounding. A glass maker will typically blow each piece by hand, carefully shaping and reshaping until the piece is perfect. These glass miniature collectibles are very detailed and considering the amount of work that goes into them, they are still reasonably priced. Many people like to display their collections on top of mirrors for added visual appeal.</p>
<h3>2. Crystal Miniature Collectibles</h3>
<p>This is a new fad, sparked in a large part by the popularity of Swarovski crystal. You can find these very valuable items at auction, and a few stores around the world carry them as well. They are usually done in very minute detail and most of the subjects are either animals or somehow related to nature. You can occasionally find other styles but by far the most common are the ones that are small crystal animals. These are typically very expensive, but they are also highly collectible.</p>
<h3>3. Resin Miniature Collectibles</h3>
<p>Resin collectibles are ideal for homes that have small children or for those that have a tendency to drop things. These are incredibly durable and many consider resin to be the perfect material for miniature collectibles. It is easy to work with and easy to hand paint and the level of customization and detail on these works is usually quite high. These are perhaps the most reasonably priced miniature collectibles you can find and it’s always nice to know that they will be able to hold up to the rigors of everyday life in your home.</p>
<h3>4. Porcelain Miniature Collectibles</h3>
<p>These are an old favorite of many and once again, the craftsmanship that goes into these tiny masterpieces is what makes them so valuable. These are also hand painted, and they are not typically mass produced, so you should be able to find a valuable piece very easily. Typically, a manufacturer will issue a limited run for their porcelain miniature collectibles and they will only make 500 or a 1000 and that’s it. These can be worth several thousand dollars, depending on the subject and the company or designer that made them.  Miniature collectibles offer collectors the option of being able to easily store their treasures and display them nearly anywhere. They are perfect for those living in small apartments or for those that have limited space but would still like to be able to collect and display decorative art around their homes.</p>

<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FQTKJy1Zl5tZHlYAof6XsyHetOk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FQTKJy1Zl5tZHlYAof6XsyHetOk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/coincollecting/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/milliondollarloonie.jpg" alt="" title="milliondollarloonie" width="240" height="180" class="left" />Money collectors are always on the lookout for the next piece that they can add to their collection. For those who enjoy <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/money/Coins-World/Australia-Oceania">collecting rare coins</a>, it can be difficult to find the pieces that you want to buy. After all, this is why they are called rare coins. Of course, one of the ways where you can get exactly what you are looking for is that you will be able to buy from rare coin auctions. These auctions are open to all collectors and might help you to find exactly what you are looking for.</p>
<p>Of course, there are many reasons why you might want to attend. You might have discovered that a piece that you are looking for is being sold at the auction. You might also find that those selling are ones you know to have pieces you are interested in. You might also attend because you are one of the parties selling their coins. This will help you to be able to not only make the most out of the auction. You will also be able to elevate your status in the world of rare coin collecting.</p>
<p><strong>Buying a Specific Piece</strong></p>
<p>Whenever you are hunting down a <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/money/Coins-World/Australia-Oceania">rare coin</a>, you might find that they are being sold at the rare coin auctions. This will allow you to be able to get the coin that you are looking for so that you can add it to your collection. Finding out what will be sold in an auction is easier in some auctions than in others. Try to ask for a list of the items being sold before you even dedicate yourself to being able to attend the auction. This will help you to decide whether it is in your best interest or not.</p>
<p><strong>Buying from Certain People</strong></p>
<p>Even if you are not able to find out what pieces are being sold at the auction, you might be able to find out who is selling at the auction. It could be from a single collection of a collector who has passed or it might be form individuals just like you looking to sell some of their collection. These rare coin auctions will allow you to be able to get the pieces that you want by knowing exactly what other collectors have in their collections.</p>
<p><strong>Making a Sale</strong></p>
<p>Another reason you might be attending these <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/money/Coins-World/Australia-Oceania">rare coin auctions</a> is that you might be among those who is selling coins. This will allow you to be able to get everything that you will need so that you will be able to get as much as your coin is worth and sometimes a lot more. This is because the bidding will pit collectors against one another. These auctions are at times how the prices will be determined for what individual sellers will be able to get for the same piece. This is why it is important that these auctions continue to be held for a long time to come.</p>

<h4><a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/money/">Coins and Paper Money</a> -&gt; <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/money/Coins-and-Paper-Money/Coins-Canada">Coins: Canada</a> -&gt; <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/money/Coins-Canada/Commemorative">Commemorative</a></h4>
<p>Whether you are from Canada, or just interested in collecting Canadian coins, there are plenty of options out there and many of these coins are actually quite valuable. Before you get started with your collection, it’s a good idea to know what is out there and which coins will be the best investment. Here’s a quick guide to Canadian coins to get you started.</p>
<h3>1. Gold and Platinum Coins</h3>
<p>By far, the most valuable Canadian coins are the ones that are made from platinum or gold. You’ll find many commemorative coins made of these materials and some are worth more than the actual face value of the coin. If you’re looking for a solid investment with a history of growth, these coins are a great option. While not all are incredibly valuable, the majority will be worth at the very least their face value.</p>
<h3>2. Loonies and Twoonies</h3>
<p>Loonies are a very popular Canadian coin, so called due to the design on the coin. This is a dollar coin and it can be a bit harder to find the older ones. If you happen across a Loonie, it’s a great idea to keep it since it may be worth quite a lot of money. Twoonies are also popular and this is a two dollar coin that is a real collector’s item. Not many people actually use these, so it is possible to get your hands on one that has not been circulated.</p>
<h3>3. Province Coins</h3>
<p>Just like the US and the state quarters, there are province specific Canadian coins that are very valuable. It’s a lot of fun to see if you can get all the provinces and this is also a fun hobby for kids that combines geography with stamp collecting. The commemorative ones are going to be the most valuable in these coins, but there is still a lot of demand for these on the market.</p>
<h3>4. Collections, Lots</h3>
<p>If you want a jump start towards building your collection of Canadian coins, one of the best ways to do that is to get an entire collection in one fell swoop. You can usually find these at auction and in many cases, there will be at least one or two very rare stamps in the collection. Even if you already have a large personal collection, this is usually a very economical way to add to and even discover some new stamps along the way. </p>
<h3>5. Proof Sets</h3>
<p>These are probably the rarest and hardest to find in Canadian coins, but if you do come across a proof, you can almost guarantee that it will be worth quite a bit of money. These are the proofs that are used when they are minting coins, and there are many antique ones that are very popular right now.</p>
<p>No matter what kind of Canadian coins you are interested in collecting, you can find them at auction, online and even from private dealers. Give collecting these coins a try and see what rare finds you can come across.</p>

<h4><a href="http://vintageantiquecollectible.com/stamps/">Stamps</a> -&gt; <a href="http://vintageantiquecollectible.com/stamps/Stamps/United-States">Books and Manuscripts</a> -&gt; <a href="http://vintageantiquecollectible.com/stamps/United-States/Back-of-Book">Back of Book</a></h4>
<p>United States stamps are fun to collect and you will have many different varieties from which to choose. If you are looking for a hobby for your kids, or you are just interested in US history, these stamps are a great link to our past and a valuable way to learn more about this country. If you want to collect United States stamps, there are a few things to remember. These tips will help you build up a very valuable collection.</p>
<h3>1. Consider the Era</h3>
<p>Stamps have been produced in America from the colonial period and there are numerous stamps from this time period that can still be found today. Colonial United States stamps are rare finds indeed, as are Confederate stamps. Whether you are interested in collecting for a specific year, or you just need to know which ones to look for, the older the better is true in the majority of cases. Keep your eyes open, you never know what you may find.</p>
<h3>2. Think outside the book</h3>
<p>There are many valuable United States stamps that were never actually used as stamps. These back of the book stamps, such as <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/stampcollecting/duck-stamps/">Duck Stamps</a> are still quite rare and many of them will bring in thousands of dollars at auction. Although it is always nice to find stamps that were meant for circulation, you should also consider collecting at least a few back of book stamps as well.</p>
<h3>3. Special Events Matter</h3>
<p>Stamps that are designed to commemorate special events are always quite valuable. For example, the first flight United States stamps are highly sought after and commemorate the Wright Brothers and their contributions to the aviation industry. There are also United States stamps that were printed in honor of certain presidents as well as other public figures and important events that occurred throughout the history of this country. Learning about these stamps can be quite an education.</p>
<h3>4. Condition Matters</h3>
<p>By far the most valuable United States stamps are the ones that are in pristine condition and were never actually circulated. However, these are rare and may be priced out of reach of the average collector. You can still find some great stamps however if you keep your eyes open. In fact, in many cases, you can get a collection or lot of stamps at auction and discover a rare find right inside.</p>
<h3>5. Errors Aren’t a Bad Thing</h3>
<p>Although you would think that a United States stamp that was printed poorly or had an error would be worthless, the opposite is actually quite true. There is a huge market for oddity stamps, stamps with errors on them and what collectors refer to as “freaks.” Keep an eye out for stamps that may not look just right – you may have a gold mine on your hands.</p>
<p>FDCs are also very popular stamps and there are literally thousands of United States stamps that are considered to be collectible. Start building your collection today and see what rare finds you can come across.</p>

It’s easy to enhance your personal collection with many different football memorabilia items and it’s also a lot of fun to see just how many you can find. Here are some of the best and most valuable kinds of football memorabilia.</p>
<h3>1. Jerseys</h3>

If you’re trying to find an autographed piece of football memorabilia, this is quite possibly one of the best forms to go with. Demand is quite high for many players, but you never know what you may come across. You can start with players that you’re already familiar with, and then move onto collect the rest of the jerseys from other popular members of the team. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye out for any rare autographed jersey since they are very valuable.</p>
<h3>2. Game Balls</h3>
<p>Out of all of the types of football memorabilia you can find, autographed game balls may just be the best. You can find specific game balls that are from very important events like the super bowl, or you can go a little deeper and get one from a player that you enjoy following or from a specific game that meant a lot to you. These items can be very expensive, especially if they were used in a super bowl, pro bowl or any other game of national or historic note.</p>
<h3>3. Helmets</h3>
<p>These are a great piece of football memorabilia that are not only fun to display, but they may also be quite valuable. Replicas are very common however and will usually have a much lower price tag than originals. All collectors dream of being the one to score an autographed helmet from their favorite player, but this is no easy task if you’re looking for an original. You can usually find these rare items at auction, or players may even sell them directly or through their fan clubs.</p>
<h3>4. Ticket Stubs</h3>
<p>These may not be necessarily of great monetary value, but as football memorabilia goes, they can have a high emotional value. Consider looking for an autographed ticket stub from one of your favorite players from a game in your area, or even from the super bowl. The bigger the game was, the better your chances are of landing a great collector’s item.</p>
<p>Keep your eye out for new football memorabilia as the new season kicks off. There are a lot of great teams this year and many old favorite players are now back in the game. This promises to be a great year for football memorabilia collectors and you should be able to find plenty of these items in stores and at online auctions this year.</p>

<p>Were you a child of the 1950’s? If so, chances are you remember the 1950’s tv shows that set the tone for our entertainment today. These shows were much loved and back in an era when choices were limited to three channels, the audience for these 1950’s tv shows was vast. As a result, the networks tried to monetize the shows by producing various types of memorabilia. If you missed out on that memorabilia when you were a kid, don’t worry! It’s come back in a big way and there are thousands of collectibles out there just waiting to be discovered.</p>
<p>Some of the most popular 1950’s tv show collectibles were lunch boxes. Kids would take these to school with them and enjoyed showing them off to their friends. It is still possible to find one of these collectibles in decent shape and flea markets are a great place to start your search. Whether you loved Hopalong Cassidy or Roy Rogers, these lunchboxes are highly sought after and many of them are actually pretty valuable.</p>
<p>Next on the list of favorite 1950’s tv show collectibles were the small figurines and toys put out by the networks. These were commonly styled after western heros or popular stars at the time. By far, the western collectibles are the most popular and it is possible to find one of these original figurines at auction for several thousand dollars. If that’s a little steep, you can head online for some great deals from other collectors and antique stores. Online auction are a great place to get 1950’s tv show collectibles.</p>
<p>In addition to these fan favorites, the advertising inserts that promoted these 1950’s tv shows were also quite popular. This was a totally new medium at the time and it is fascinating to look back and see how the shows were promoted and what they entailed. For those that are already collecting advertising, these collectibles hold particular value.</p>
<p>Numerous different types of merchandise were put out for 1950’s tv shows and you’d be surprised by just how many you can find. From six guns, to coffee mugs, tv trays, and everything else in between, if there was a show in the 1950’s you enjoyed, chances are you’ll be able to find collectibles to match it. Some shows were so hugely popular that they spawned giant fan clubs, held massive parades and enjoyed tremendous ratings. These much loved shows may no longer be on the air, but thanks to these collectibles, you can relive your memories and see just how great television was back in the day.</p>
<p>No matter what kind of 1950’s tv show memorabilia you’re seeking, online auctions offer the widest selection. You’ll be able to find collectibles from all over the world. Many private collectors use these services to sell of parts of their collections and antique stores and private dealers also use these services to sell merchandise. If all else fails, check out your local second hand stores, garage sales or flea markets.</p>

<h4><a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/memorabilia/">Memorabilia</a> -&gt; <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/memorabilia/Entertainment-Memorabilia/Movie-Memorabilia">Movie Memorabilia</a> -&gt; <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/memorabilia/Movie-Memorabilia/Collector-Plates">Collector Plates</a></h4>
<p>One of the most common types of memorabilia for the entertainment world are collector plates. These decorative items adorn the homes of many, but they may not be aware of just how valuable these small collectibles are. While there are plenty of collector plates that have only sentimental value, you can find some that are actually worth quite a lot of money.</p>
<h3>1. Gone With the Wind</h3>
<p>This much loved movie produced numerous memorabilia items and collector plates are very valuable. Look for plates that were produced back when the film was released. Although you can find brand new ones today, they are not as valuable as the limited editions that were produced in 1939. The most valuable collector plates will be in perfect condition and may also contain a matching stand.</p>
<h3>2. The Wizard of Oz Collector Plates</h3>
<p>It is ironic that two of the most collectible types of plates are dedicated to movies that were released in the same year. The Wizard of Oz collectible plates are also incredibly valuable, especially if you can find originals that were put out right after the movie was released. These may be a bit old and the colors may have faded a bit, but many of these plates will sell for more than a few hundred dollars, if not even more, at auction.</p>
<h3>3. Sports Heroes</h3>
<p>Collectible plates that are dedicated to big sport’s heroes are also very popular and may hold extra value. These plates are usually released at the height of an athlete’s career or right after they accomplish something extraordinary. It is best to try to get these when they are first produced, as later issues may not be as valuable. There are thousands of different collectible plates for sports heroes and chances are you’ll be able to find the one you admire the most.</p>
<h3>4. Disney Collector Plates</h3>
<p>Once again, the older the collector plate, the more valuable it will be. This is certainly true of Disney plates and you can actually find many incredible deals, if you pay attention. Look for plates that were produced during the 1930’s to the 1950’s for the most valuable items. Today’s plates however may be worth something in the future, so it is best to take good care of them now.</p>
<p>If you are interested in getting into collector plates, there are some great resources to find them. The first place to look is at a local flea market, or even a garage sale. You’ll be surprised at just how many top dollar collector plates are actually discovered this way. Your next option is to visit an antique dealer, as they frequently carry these popular items.</p>
<p>You can also find great collector plates at online auction sites and the variety is usually quite large. However, you’ll need to make sure that the plate comes with a certificate of authenticity, especially since you won’t be able to examine the plate in person, before you make your purchase. This will help to ensure that you are getting an actual collector’s item.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/stampcollecting/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/85f.jpg"><img class="left" title="US Stamps" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/stampcollecting/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/85f.jpg" alt="US Stamps" width="188" height="230" /></a>Collecting stamps from around the world is a popular hobby for many, but there are also many valuable stamps that are hard to find. US Stamps in particular can be very rare, and there are quite a few that collectors would give their eye teeth for. Here is a quick guide to most collectible US stamps that are currently available.</p>
<p><strong>1. US Franklin Z Grill – 1867  US Stamp</strong><br />
This one may be hard for the average collector to find since only two were ever made. While all Z Grills are considered to be collectible, these two stamps are by far the most valuable. One recently sold at auction for just under $1 million.</p>
<p><strong>2. Hawaiian Missionary Stamps – 1851 US Stamp</strong><br />
The first stamps that were issued by what would later become the state of Hawaii are considered to be incredibly rare and will fetch upwards of $225k at auction. The first series were missionary stamps. They got this name from the multitude of American missionaries that were stationed in the islands during that time period. These were the same stamps that they used to write home and report on their efforts at spreading the gospel.</p>
<p><strong>3. Abraham Lincoln – 1867 US Stamp</strong><br />
This is a very rare stamp indeed, but you may be able to find one since there are least more than two in existence. It features the Z Grill and is considered to be collectible due to the Civil War that was raging at the time and the history behind the stamp. If you are lucky enough to come across one of these, it can easily sell for more than $200k if it is in good condition.</p>
<p><strong>4. Shield, Eagle and Flags – 1869 US Stamp</strong><br />
This stamp is so valuable that even one that no longer has gum on the back can still be worth more than $3500 if the rest of the stamp is in good condition. These are a little easier to come by for the average collector. Keep your eyes open however for one that is both unhinged and has gum since this can be worth more than $200k.</p>
<p><strong>5. The Declaration of Independence – 1869 US Stamp</strong><br />
One of these used will sell more for more than $800, but if you can find one that is still intact, it can be worth a lot more. Many of these stamps, in mint condition, will sell at auction for more than $200k. Again, this is an easier stamp to find since more of them were issued.</p>
<p>US Stamps offer more than just a valuable collectible. Each one has a rich history tied to it that links us to our past. If you are just starting your collection, it is fun to see just how many rare stamps you can come across, and you never know just what treasures you may find. This is a great hobby for kids, and you can teach them a lot about the United States through these rare and valuable stamps.</p>

<p><img class="left" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/historian/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bat.jpg" alt="Movie Props" width="220" height="312" />If you have a favorite movie that you will never forget, or if you are a collector of memorabilia, finding movie props can be an amazing experience. There are numerous studios that release special movie props after filming and you can also find some truly remarkable props at auction. However, if you are looking for originals, there are a few things to keep in mind before you turn over your cash.</p>
<p>There is quite a business in reproduction movie props and although the average person may not be able to tell them apart, there is a great difference in value when compared to an original. If you are collecting for investment purchases, it is vital to make sure that you are dealing with an original and authentic movie prop. Otherwise, you are just wasting your money. While sentimental value does count for something, no one likes ending up with something that they thought was authentic, only to find out is was worthless.</p>
<p>Since movie props are so popular, there is a large demand for these items. For example, following the release of the movie Titanic in 1997, there was a scramble not only for the original sapphire necklace worn by the lead actress, but numerous fakes and reproductions popped up. While the reproductions were stunning to look at it, they were worth much less than the original.</p>
<p>It is not easy to find authentic and original movie props, but those that live in Hollywood or near filming locations can usually end up with some amazing finds. The best place to find these props is usually at a studio sanctioned auction, but you may be able to find a rare deal from a private collector. Before you do however, here’s what you need to look for.</p>
<h3>1. Certificate of Authenticity</h3>
<p>The movie props that are released by the studio will generally come with a certificate. Now, there is an exception to this rule, mainly due to stars that took home props, added them to their private collection and they later ended up at auction. These usually have a story that goes along with them however to supply authentication.</p>
<h3>2. Who is the Dealer?</h3>
<p>If you are dealing with a known provider of authentic movie props, you can usually be assured that you will be getting originals. Steer clear of sellers that have no reputation or feedback in the industry since the chances of getting stuck with a reproduction are very high in these cases. This is particularly true if they cannot produce a certificate of authenticity.</p>
<p>With care, you can purchase original movie props from your favorite films. Pay attention to auctions because you never know when something rare may pop up. Original movie props offer you the ability to take part in something that may have touched you, made you laugh or made you cry. You owe it to yourself to make sure that it is an authentic prop. With a little effort, you can easily make sure you are buying the real thing.</p>
