Finding your coin collecting personality: a completely unscientific guide
So you want to start collecting Canadian coins but don't know where to start? Let me help you find your collecting soulmate:
The Patriot: National commemoratives all day. Olympics? Yes. Centennial celebrations? OBVIOUSLY. You probably get emotional during the national anthem and that's valid.
The Homebody: Provincial themes speak to your soul. You collect coins featuring your home province and feel personally attacked when people don't know your local history.
The Time Traveler: You're here for specific historical periods. Victorian era coins make you wish you lived in simpler times (ignore the lack of modern medicine).
The Nature Lover: Wildlife designs are your jam. You have strong opinions about which Canadian animal is most iconic and will defend your choice.
The Royal Watcher: Royal portraits throughout the decades fascinate you. You probably know way too much about the monarchy and that's your brand.
Plot twist: You can totally be multiple personalities. Collecting rules are fake, do what makes you happy.
The secret sauce? Collect what you actually connect with, not what you think will make money. Passion projects > investment strategies every time.
So, what's your collecting personality? Are you a hybrid? Did I miss any major categories? Let's discuss in the notes!
