Secrets of the State Quarters shows you how to start building and developing a State Quarter collection. It also details numerous ways to transform this fascinating hobby into a potentially lucrative business. The author, EJ Gold, gives tips and techniques for identifying valuable coins and for promoting their sale through various marketing strategies, including creating jewelry and games. He also discusses spiritual and metaphysical aspects associated with coin collecting which are the essence of coinology. Over the years I have employed many of EJ’s tool and techniques in working with quarters and pennies. I have always found his advice to be valuable in that it is at once immediately practical and helpful, but also thought provoking, opening new and creative avenues which I can explore myself. I hope that as you read his lighthearted but knowledge filled words they will have the same effect on you. I wish you the best in your work with coinology!

It’s Just a Penny & Secrets of the State Quarters: Our 2 FAVORITE eBooks
“It’s Just a Penny” is a guide to coin collecting, specifically focusing on Lincoln cents, that incorporates spiritual and metaphysical elements. The book details techniques for identifying and grading coins, building collections, and even using coins for meditation and spiritual practices. It also explores the potential for profit through coin trading.
“Secrets of the State Quarters” similarly focuses on coin collecting but centers around state, national park, and America the Beautiful quarters. This text emphasizes identifying error coins for profit, creating coin-based jewelry and games, and using the process for spiritual growth. Both sources promote the author’s unique “Coinology” approach, combining coin collecting with spiritual practices and business opportunities
Family Treasures, Family Business, Family Fun.
Family Treasures, Family Business, Family Fun…that’s what I’m offering, in a nutshell.
I can prove that the coins are out there. All you need do is farm them and sell them on eBay. I show you step by step how to start and build a family business with the kids doing whatever portion they want, including the whole thing if they’re up to it, and most kids today would be. You learn how to farm coins from in-circulation bank boxes, isolate the valuable coins, describe them, grade them, price them and sell them to a very receptive public! I’ve spent the past two and a half years proving that it’s possible — if you know exactly what to look for and what to do with it when you’ve got hold of it — to produce the coins that could yield an average of $340.00 per 8-hour coin search. Sure, that’s a lot of hours, but if you happen to be overage, like myself, unemployable on any level for any job including security guard at a whistle factory, out of work or just plain disgusted with the job situation or you’re tired of being told on Friday morning to pick up your severance pay at the cashier’s, eight hours of hard work is a small price to pay to stay at water level, if not above it.
It’s easy to learn. This stuff is so addictive, you won’t believe it’s legal, and as a matter of fact, in some countries, it isn’t. If you can see ahead, you know that the U.S. penny is doomed. At some point, the cost of production will so heavily outweigh the value of the coin that it just won’t be produced anymore. In the meantime, there are powerful lobbies to allow people to melt down the copper coins they’ve been hoarding, but copper pennies are being mechanically separated and are now being hoarded by the billions.
Until that happens, you can use my method to create a FREE basic inventory for your very own family coin shop. It can be online on a website, or on eBay as an eBay seller, or you can hit the coin shows and flea markets or a combination of all of that. There are tons of coin clubs, too, and they’ll be happy to show you the ropes. The very best course is to find out for yourself what the scoop is, of course. That means knowing how to evaluate a coin, grade it, find out its grey sheet bid and ask price and you MUST know WHY you want that coin. If you just want it because it’s cool, that’s okay, but knowing what the coin’s destination is — personal collection, family collection, trade or resale — is vitally important.
Working with the family is very productive and you can set up a whole family operation, like a production line, just generating coins for resale. Someone can get on the computer, someone else handle the camera, someone else do the research on the coin and price it, etc. There’s a lot to learn, and it’s very complex with tons of detail. The work is intense and demanding and the mental strain is enormous. If this sounds like your brand of fun, you’re in for a lot of great surprises with coinology.
