Just my half cent's worth (in 1804 currency), like others have said, slab the rarities and maybe sell them separately. People who want them may...
For me, numismatics and bullion go together and remain hard to separate definitively. Many numismatic items contain bullion, though they wouldn't...
I keep my spending lower by trying to only buy things I think I will really enjoy for years to come. That took some learning and experimentation,...
If the first coin is genuine - it's hard to tell from the picture - then it's a Mexican 50 Pesos Libertad made of 1.2 ounces of gold. You can do...
Numista (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/emirats_arabes_unis-1.html) may help, but if you can't read Arabic you might have trouble even knowing...

I don't think the hobby will ever disappear completely, but I think it will fade. When, and if, the digital economy comes to full fruition, people...
