<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1778171, member: 28199&quot;]This depends entirely on what you want to do. If you want the highest quality stuff you can find, to caress and gaze at, with an eye on selling for profit next week, go for it. I can give you my perspective though:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I collect a lot of stuff that is coin-related. I collect foreign coins because I get them cheap, usually in lots of 50-100 for a couple bucks. The guy I primarily deal with pulls them and saves them for me. I have gotten numerous silver coins from those lots, but for me it&#039;s the challenge of trying to a get at least one coin from every country. Then, I can make type sets from the various countries, and even start collecting a specific set of coins from a particular country. I also buy those cents counter-stamped with the different states. Not because I think they&#039;re valuable, but for the challenge of getting all 50. Do I care that there is no money to made in this? Nope. Worst case scenario, somebody sells them for a couple bucks, or they go to a local school for history/geography lessons, or to simply hand out as playthings. When it reaches that point, I will have accomplished all I wanted to with those. For me, it&#039;s about the challenge, not the profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
