When you start a new coin collection, you may be overwhelmed and you do not know where to start. If you don’t have much money to spend on expensive specimens, this could be the series you need, especially if you love birding.
For those who cannot remember it, 2018 was the year of the bird and the U.S. Mint did not miss the opportunity to highlight it. Thus, some interesting coins were made for those American citizens into birding and wildlife.
3 beautiful coins for bird lovers and birding enthusiasts
Coin collecting can start at any age, so it may mean you have missed out on beautiful pieces (and species). Bear in mind that U.S. Mint artists have beautifully designed the America, the Beautiful Quarters Program.
This program has been going on for several years. From 2010 through 2017, up to 7 birds can be found on the reverse of 7 coins. While some can be easily seen in the foreground, others are in the background in a smaller size.
However, pay close attention if you are a birding enthusiast because three of the five reverse designs for the coins in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program in 2018 show birds. Here are the birds you can “spot”:
- black-crowned night heron (Block Island National Wildlife Refuge)
- snowy egret (Cumberland Island National Seashore)
- common loon (Voyageurs National Park)
Where can I find these coins for birding enthusiasts?
Well, you may find them in the cash you get back in any U.S. store or shop. Just like you may find the bald eagle in many U.S. coins. Do not forget that the bald eagle is our national bird.
So, it may be the one you have come across more often in your pocket or wallet. If you do not want to keep looking for the spare change you get after shopping, or you simply use credit and debit cards, check prices on eBay.
Many eBay users sell collections. Some of them are in great condition. Amazon is another great place to find them, and some are as cheap as $7.99.
