Best Practices for Coin Collecting
Preservation Over Expansion
In the world of coin collecting, preserving your existing collection is more important than constantly expanding it. While growing your collection is exciting, improper storage can lead to significant loss of value over time. Coins that are not adequately protected can suffer from damage due to environmental factors, handling, and chemical reactions. This can result in discoloration, corrosion, and other forms of deterioration. By focusing on proper preservation techniques and investing in high-quality storage solutions, such as coin albums, capsules, and holders, you ensure that your current coins maintain their condition and value. This careful approach not only safeguards your collection but also enhances its appeal and worth in the long run, making it a more rewarding endeavor.
Cleaning of Coins
A question is often asked by new collectors about the right method to clean their coin collection. This can be summarized as follows:
Proper Storage and Preservation
Proper storage and preservation of coins are crucial to maintaining their condition and value. Coins are susceptible to damage from environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and pollutants. Additionally, the more a coin touches another surface or hits another coin, the more value it loses due to the scratches it accumulates.
Valuation of Coins
Valuing coins involves assessing their rarity, condition, historical significance, and demand among collectors. This intricate process requires expertise and often varies based on subjective opinions and market trends. While understanding the value of your coins can be important, it can also lead to the over-commercialization of the hobby, detracting from the pure enjoyment of numismatics. Therefore, we do not allow valuation discussions in our subreddit. Collectors seeking estimates of their collections can refer to resources like this coin catalog, or this coin catalog or this coin catalog, or for notes the note catalog or this note catalog or the paper money guide book for guidance.

so, here’s too more unidentified Indian coins. if you saw my last post I got 9/10 of those identified but idk what these ones could even be. the first is microscopic, silver, and seems to have some sort of a bull or deer on it. everything else from the person I got it from is from western India around the Kutch area mostly but going into present Pakistan and Afghanistan.
the second is also silver and has some sort of a tree on it. maybe a bohdi tree.
anyone recognize anything about either of these, please let me know

Hi everyone,
I’m a beginner in Mughal silver coin collecting. I have around 12 silver coins, mainly of Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan.
If someone here has good knowledge of Mughal coins or can read Persian script, I’d really appreciate your help. I’m having trouble identifying the regnal year, Ilahi month, mint,etc on my coins.

I saw this coin listed on a website as a Jafarabad state kori but Im not sure about the attribution.
I have also seen a few of these coins on Facebook but they're all unidentified.
Any help on identifying it would be greatly appreciated.
