I always loved going into antique shops and one time I saw a bin of world coins with 10 cents each or 11 for a Buck!

I believe most U.S. Dealers only care about U.S. Coins and Bullion. So I wanted to be an underdog and study the heck out of world coins so that I could build up a cool collection that I love of neat finds for not much out of pocket cost (being that I have a very small budget! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), So I hunt around where ever I can for Non-U.S. coins at a great deal, which is never hard to find, because most haven't caught on to care much about them yet, but it is my belief that with the Internet and other resources available today that never were through out history that world coin collecting will blow up with in 20-40 years, so I am basically trying to get a head start on it now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
