A lot of people call themselves coin collectors. But what’s the difference between collecting coins and hoarding coins?
Everybody has their own definitions of what coin collecting means versus what coin hoarding is.
However, I have a few of my own opinions on what coin collecting is versus what coin hoarding is based on my observations of numismatics and what trends the hobby has seen since the 1800s.

Jefferson nickels have been around since 1938.
While they have been serving the public since the last days of the Great Depression, they remain one of the easiest and least-expensive coin sets to complete.
In fact, it’s entirely possible to actually complete a Jefferson nickel collection simply by looking for all the coins from pocket change.
Sound easy? Well, it’s not quite as simple as 1-2-3, but because the Jefferson nickel has seen few changes over its time, many non-coin collectors haven’t paid much attention to the coin. This is to your advantage as a coin collector, because many of the older dates are still floating around in circulation. Even scarce dates still occasionally pop up.
So how do you go about completing a collection of Jefferson nickels? A keen eye, searching each and every nickel that passes through your hands, and doing a little bit of extra leg work will help you complete – or at least nearly complete — your Jefferson nickel collection right from your pocket change!
