December is coming to a close, meaning it’s time to wrap up all your holiday shopping. If you’re having trouble finding a gift for the coin collector on your list, just ask Coins Plus. We have a variety of rare coins, sets, and commemoratives for sale in our Cincinnati-based shops, perfect for the holidays.

Whether you’re shopping for a novice collector or an expert numismatist, here are three gifts that are sure to be a hit:  

1. A Quality Magnifier

Coin collectors always want to look closely at their coins to appreciate their beauty, determine their authenticity or grade, or determine the die variety.  A good magnifier can last a lifetime and provide invaluable assistance to any collector.

2. Gold Bullion

Gold has always been a popular and prestigious gift for the holidays.  After all, did not the three wise men bring Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh?  Traded on commodity markets, these particular pieces are available as both bars and coins. Their value is determined by the weight of pure gold found in the coin.  Gold coins have been produced for millennia around the world giving you a wide range of designs and price points for the gift.

3. Numismatic Literature

Every collection has its own story just waiting to be uncovered. Literature can teach you about ancient cultures as well as modern societies.  Each coin has a historical tale to tell.  Help unlock these “secrets” with the purchase of a numismatic book this holiday season. Having trouble picking the right text? Visit Coin Plus! Not only do we have a numismatic library you can browse but we would also be happy to recommend some titles.

Happy holidays from Coins Plus! For even more gift ideas for the coin collector in your life, call us at (513) 621-1996 today. To learn more about our services or to schedule an appraisal, visit us online.
