Before this, all stamps needed to be

independently moistened. By 1992,

full-scale production of the stamps

was implemented. BACK

Part 1Part 1

Philately has a long history, both in the world and in my family. It seems to be a traditional hobby of ours, though not a serious one. In our collection, the stamps in our old albums are mostly used ones. I don't know much about my great grandfather, but we have a Great Dragon Stamp of his. It is said that this small piece of paper is worth a lot of money now, but we have never thought of parting with it. Most of our other stamps are new ones, collectd solely out of interests of the family hobbists. They are not the so-called "idle"people, either, having to work hard to earn the bread for the family.Thus they do not have much spare time to devote to stamp collecting.

Hobbies are special interests for your spare time. They are not sports or games. They are things people do because they want to, not because they have to. To a hotel chef, cooking is not a hobby, but a job. But to another person, cooking might well be a hobby if they do not really need to do it. As your knowledge of a hobby grows, you may find that it will help you to decide what you want to do when you grew up. A boy who is clever at making model aircraft may well decide that he has a future in aircraft engineering or design. Many well-known photographers first learned their art as a hobby.Many young people get satisfaction from collecting things. Autographs, stamps, and coins are some of the most sought-after collector’s items. With patience you can build up an interesting and valuable collection.

Coin collecting is an ancient hobby. The value of a

coin depends partly on its condition. If it is in perfect

condition it may be worth ten times as much as a

worn or bent coin. The number of coins made in the

year of issue also affects the value. The fewer coins

there are of a particular kind, the greater their rarity

value to the collector. You can collect coins in series

– say, one of each English king or queen. Or you can

collect all the dates of a particular series. This is a

popular form of collecting in the United States.

Unit 6 D I

Some coins are not really intended to buy things. In

1965 a Churchill memorial crown was issued. Millions

of people like to keep such coins as souvenirs.

Souvenir medals are also in great demand. They are

issued from time to time to commemorate some

important historic event or anniversary.

Coin catalogues will help you to find the value of any

coin you may collect or buy.
