<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2842413, member: 4373&quot;]Sometimes some of the best high quality coins can be found overseas as business men or missionaries brought back banknotes and coins. This would mean they are pretty much retired from circulation in decent condition. Mind you, this is back in the era where traveling overseas was difficult due to visa restrictions, plane tickets were expensive - it was essentially a privilege to travel abroad. Some of the best quality Asian numismatics survived this way - a lot ended up in Europe, US and Japan. </p><p><br /></p><p>So maybe it doesn&#039;t hurt to check your coin dealer&#039;s junk box - make sure you know what you are looking for![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
