<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1663247, member: 39"]Right, but mintage is, by itself, not really a good criterion when it comes to how "valuable" a non-US (what you call "world") coin might be. Things get interesting if there is sufficient demand too. If a regular (not silver, gold, platinum, etc.) coin has a mintage of 10,000 but hardly anybody finds it interesting or worth collecting, then it won't be expensive or worth a lot. Now if the mintage is 100,000 but many collectors find it attractive for whichever reason ...</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, searching coin bags can be a lot of fun. Mostly for the novice collector, but also for those who have collected a certain area/period so far. The OFEC collector (one from every country) may well find some "jewels" in such a bag - but not likely in terms of making money. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
