<p>[QUOTE="mitchell, post: 13914, member: 989"]The world coins I buy are silver, and usually the size of an American silver dollar. Mostly around an ounce. I consider the price of silver in the purchase. I have yet to pay more than $12 for anything, and probably wouldn't. I feel the silver content, and a corresponding price will prevent me from losing my shirt. Plus, I am not really interested in everyday pocket change. My local dealer has that, and I can see what I am getting, even though his grading is somewhat.........profitable for him. I get Proof bullion type stuff like Chinese Panda's, Balboa's, Canadian Maples, Brittannia's, Kook's and Monkey's, Israel, Bahama's, Costa Rica, and Islands in the West Indies etc. I have been chasing some New Zealand silver, but the price keeps going too high. I prefer legal tender and not so much commemoratives, but I have seen some commemoratives that I liked and got.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing that blows my mind is Mexico.
