<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2426632, member: 71338"]I agree with inaccurate pricing. A similar thing is seen with world coins. Just like there's modern US coin aversion or negative bias, perhaps Krause and other publishers, critics, and many collectors disregard and show great disdain for world coins. For instance, no matter what scarce world coin I bring to all the shops around me, none will show interest. The only offer I get is to pay for it by the pound! To their defense, it's understandable I guess because there's no market. But that is due to the industry's parochial view of coins. Take the ANA for example. I know they are based here, but it's a numismatic organization. It should highlight the beauty and worth of all coins yet their coverage and emphasis is skewed largely to US coins. I sometimes think that I'd be better off financially by collecting US coins more than I do, but I quickly remember that I love world coins and can't change that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
