Jeff Garrett: Numismatic Holiday Gift Ideas
Like everyone else, you are probably searching for holiday gift ideas to please that hard-to-buy-for friend or relative. Shopping this year is even more difficult, with most of your options limited to online shopping. As we bring 2020 to a close (thankfully), try celebrating with numismatic gifts for your loved ones, if one or more is a collector or may be inclined to collect. However, numismatists can be quite hard to surprise with gifts.
Indeed, buying rare coins for the holidays is not something I would recommend. Collectors are usually very particular, and it is highly unlikely that you will find what they’re looking for. Rare coins can be quite expensive and are usually considered an investment. Below are some alternative gift ideas that won’t break the bank and will bring holiday cheer to the collector in your life.

This beautiful premium Gem
Proof Indian cent is fully struck with a generally satin texture to the finish. Nonetheless, direct lighting calls forth endearing reflective qualities from the fields, especially on the reverse. That side of the coin exhibits a light golden-tan patina, the obverse more boldly toned in tannish-apricot with a tinge of pinkish-rose also evident at isolated viewing angles. From an estimated Proof mintage for the date of 400 to 500 pieces.
