NUMISMANICS

Numismanics.com may have started with coins but tobacciana and shaving collectibles are also frequent favorite finds.

My love of hand held history started when I was allowed to hold an old Walking Liberty half dollar from my grandpa's coin collection. Through the wonder of a child's imagination, I looked through his collection and saw exotic animals, strange faces, and interesting buildings that whole cultures thought were important enough to be memorialized on currency. I felt like I was in my grandpa's private museum and I became amazed with the time capsules I held in my hand. I eventually began collecting 'smalls' headed for landfills to use for art projects, and evolved into learning how to repair some of these treasures so that they were usable again. 

History doesn't only live in museums. It lives and breathes all around us and belongs to everyone. Numismanics' mission is to keep restorable and upcyclable items out of the landfills. My hope for this site is for it to become a resource where like-minded folks can network and share their knowledge about restoring and refurbishing their hand held historic treasures.   

If you have questions, or have a story or expertise to share I'd love to hear from you. A future community page of some kind is in the works but I'm looking for feedback.

Thank you for stopping by Numismanics.com. Please come grow with us.  Restore some hand held history today and keep the landfills for real garbage.
