    Yeah, I said it. World coins are where it's at. Variety and value. Fight me.

    I think this Peru 2 Reales 1805 Lima Mint is a pretty interesting American coin. 0.8960 silver at 6.7668 g. At $14 US I am happy with the value I got.:D Polish_20200109_185203523.jpg

    I'm glad world coins are less popular than American (where I live) so it's easier to find good deals. I do like US coins, but it's easy to run out of types in my price range. For world coins I never run out of finding stuff I have never seen before. And now that I'm getting into coins from the 1700s the US isn't much of an option.

    Agreed, especially on the overpriced stuff. I love world coins immensely & some months buy more then I do ancients. So much variety, history & many are affordable.

    There are some U.S. coins that I do gravitate too & that's the seated liberties & Half/Large Cents.

    Different strokes for different folks. Coin collecting applies to all of them.

    American coins are boring? Network TV is boring. McDonalds and Olive Garden are boring. Life itself is sometimes boring.

    I think I'll go jump off a bridge........

    Modern U.S., and world coins are boring: boxes of MS/PF70s; disappointment when you're coin grades 68/69. Yawn...
