<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 3139559, member: 4373"]You are quite right about that - one bulk copper hoard that I bought came from a US seller. Worked out to be a dollar per coin on average. Some damaged and low grade coins but a single coin in that lot literally paid for itself and shipping back then. Today it's easily a 3 figure coin. There were some interesting coins in that lot too. I believe I still haven't cataloged some 10 cash from that lot - looked too common and didn't check for varieties. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Taiwanese silver coin often escaped when I had a budget. The last time I was close to getting one was when I was in a dilemma of either getting a Kweichow antimony coin or a vf+ Taiwan 7.2 candareens. Think they were similar price. You can see how that is a difficult choice if you have to pick just one. The last time I saw Taiwanese silver for sale a couple of years ago was a holed example for 300usd. I think it's a bit too rich for me. That said, still don't regret over the antimony purchase. That's even more scarce![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
