Believe it or not, coins make wonderful gifts. And you don\u2019t need to have a coin collector on your gift list to buy a coin for someone. New babies, recent Grads, Father\u2019s Day, Birthdays and Holidays \u2013 all perfect reasons to give the gift of coins. But what if you don\u2019t know anything about coins? Well, here are some tips:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Silver Eagles make excellent gifts. They\u2019re very affordable and considered the most collectible Silver coin the world over. They\u2019re large \u2013 about 1.5 inches in size, and contain an ounce of genuine, solid silver. Their historic design is beautiful and has a lot of wow-factor. Consider giving that new baby or College Grad a Silver Eagle that is dated the same year of their achievement. If you want to dress it up, you can buy 24 karat gold plated or colorized versions like the ones\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For something really special, yet still affordable, you can gift someone a graded coin. All coins are graded on a scale of 1 to 70, with 70 signifying that the coin is flawless. Any grade over 60 is considered uncirculated. There are two prefixes \u2013 MS and PR. The MS stands for Mint State and denotes uncirculated coins, while the PR (and sometimes PF) is for proof coins. The grading company should be different than the seller, that way you know it\u2019s impartial. The three most established grading companies are NGC, ANACS, and PCGS. This is a perfect example of a classy gift.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
