<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 1663376, member: 15488&quot;]Part of the fun of collection modern World coins is research. Research of the coins and research of the history and geographic regions. I have kept records of what I have spent on all my coins for the last several years. Mostly for insurance reasons. A close estimate of the retail value of my &quot;circulated&quot; world coins is a little over $1500. I have spent about $500 and sold about $200, so my net is around $300. Not bad. As far as buying by the pound, how about a 1951J German 2 Mark in XF which cost me .20 and has a retail of $30. I have several others with a retail over $4 to $15. Not bad for a coin that cost me .10 to .20 each. Now I look for specific circulated silver coins at a cost as close to melt as I can, but have higher collector value. One can build a nice collection without spending a lot of money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
