<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1338539, member: 33176&quot;]I am speaking only for myself, but coin collecting in general seems to be more widespread in the USA than in other countries.&nbsp; If you are a foreign collector (and I am one in a small way) please don&#039;t be offended.&nbsp; If you look at a list of the most expensive coins in the world <a href="http://www.bornrich.com/entry/worlds-most-expensive-coins/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bornrich.com/entry/worlds-most-expensive-coins/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bornrich.com/entry/worlds-most-expensive-coins/</a></p><p>you will find only two coins that are not US, and one of those is a freak 100 kilo gold piece (is it even really a coin?).&nbsp; Let&#039;s not argue any other bias than the market place.&nbsp; I find collectors on this forum that are interested in coins from everywhere.&nbsp; As to the subject matter of the piece, that is usually secondary unless you have an interest in the subject.&nbsp; There are people who collect third reich coins, not because they are Nazis, but because there is an interest and a market there.&nbsp; I once posted on another forum in response to Texas wanting to have a license plate with a Confederate Battle Flag on it that they should make one with a swastika to honor the brave men who fell fighting for the fatherland.&nbsp; Not all of them were evil.&nbsp; Anyhow, as far as collectables go, you either follow the market or your own taste.&nbsp; BTW are you related to Bat Guano?&nbsp; And if it is not too personal, where are you from (bet you can&#039;t guess where I am from)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Carl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
