[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 9172360, member: 16729"]YUP. I've been trying to make this point about world coins for a while now. Find those "Less Commonly Collected Coins" (or "L3Cs" for short), whether it be a world coin series or even something like Barber Dimes (some of which are much more rare than other US series of coins, but are somewhat neglected by the typical 'merica-coin-crowd). LOTS of options are available in coins. You can collect ANY way you want, anything you want, and in any condition you want. If you're on a budget, don't listen to the style freaks in this hobby about "what's worth collecting." World coins are STILL largely unexplored and undervalued in certain areas. Also, collecting may not be your focus in numismatics: [B]Research[/B] might just be! As a noted numismatist once said, [I][B]"Numismatics is a field where a little expertise goes a long way..."[/B][/I] Lots of things to research in the world of coins...[/QUOTE]
