[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2943596, member: 112"]More than anything else, I believe that right there is the primary reason. I first wrote about that very same thing in Numismatic News back in 2003 - which is when the bull market in world coins first began. The way I put it was pretty simple, when you compare the rarity or scarcity, the history, the design, and even the condition of world coins to US coins - and then compare the cost or value between the two - there simply is no comparison. For example, with a US coin and a world coin of equal rarity, the US coin would cost 10 times as much, sometimes even a 100 times as much. And in most cases the history would be greater, the appeal of the design would be greater, and the condition or grade would usually be higher - for the world coin than it was for the US coin. And to a large degree, even after the large increases in prices for world coins, that is still true even today.[/QUOTE]
