My Collection part 1

Hi! I'll share to you my coin collection. Just this picture. I started collecting Philippine Coins. I started collecting coins when my grandma has this antique jar containing old coins. I ask coins from her and she gave it. It's old but cool! I wanna remove the dirt but experts said if you collect coins do not remove the dirt from it because it may create scratches.  I compiled my coins in a Coin Album. I was looking for it in our city. I called many stores but only one has. I mostly like  to collect from the foreign countries. Now I have coins from France, US, UK, Saudi Arabia, HK, SG, China, and one coin from Japan. 

But I kinda bored of collecting coins. My coin album is getting heavier and heavier. But It doesn't end there I still collect coins when someone gave me or when I saw coins which they do not need anymore. 

I also collect books which featured coins, stamps and banknotes. I have this kind of book that allows readers to get information of the banknotes and coins they collect. I bought this from my friend in Manila. I enjoyed reading the book. I was looking for a book like this in a bookstore but it seems I cannot afford for the price. Even if this book is in 3rd hand ( my friend bought it in a secondhand bookshop), I still keep it.


I was also looking for Stamp Catalogs. I went to many bookstores but only one store has. I was looking for a foreign stamp catalogs but they only have local, and still the only issue available. This catalog is all about the history of the Philippine Stamps. 



Ohhh! I grab that last copy immediately before someone will get it. I didn't expect for it. I thought that there will be no more issue for it. 

I also bought this expensive stamp album. I bought for the good of my stamp collection. But speaking of expensive, i have read an article about collecting stamps that we should limit ourselves. We should discipline ourselves from buying expensive things for the stamp. But, this will be my first and the last time to buy and expensive one. This album is way cool. 



Its pages were made out of PVC free plastic. The pages has different sizes for the stamps. I also collect stamps from different countries, but I mostly like to collect from the Philippines. Here is my stamp collection from the foreign countries. 


I only took picture from a page but if you like to see more you can ask me. There are lots of things I want to share but I'll make time to blog it.

  1. OK Notaphilist. ← First time i learned this word from you.

    So do you plan to become a notaphilist? I thin it suits you coz you collect lots of stamps, money despite its expensiveness.

    1. i already considered myself to be. philatelist is the person who collects and study stamps. numismatist is the person who collect and study coins. well, money is kinda expensive but it depends on its rarity and value.
