<p>[QUOTE="dctjr80, post: 656469, member: 15915"]Here is where I step in with my debate. WORLD COINS. Almost all Antique/Pawn shops in America care about only 2 things in my eyes. U.S. & Bullion. I have bought Silver world coins and rare world coins for pocket change and even alot of current world coins that people do not realize are still money. Swiss 5,2,1 Franc coins for 10 cents a piece or 100 Japanese yen coins worth a dollar each for pennies. I chose world coins because they are very interesting pieces of history from all over the World and rising in value fast due to standard catalogs and the internet coming to these countries and raising their countrymen to start collecting like we did. I also chose this collecting style because it is the underdog and with alot of study in a short time you could be miles ahead in understanding Awesome under valued finds. 2 Days ago I left an antique shop with a hand full of about 5 coins for one Dollar the shop keep asked for them. I recieved an awesome Austrailian Sterling Silver Florin/ turned into a love token making it a interesting piece worth atleast four dollars in bullion alone and a Great Britain 6 Pence 1834 in VF+ condition and a Swiss 20 rappen, which to me was like handing me back 18 cents since thats its current circulation value. Anyway, I am not saying the path of collecting I chose came with out making tons of costly mistakes to start with in time and money. But it was fast enouph to learn enouph in only about a year to start producing a nice little profit and a neat coin collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also some of the best advice I have gotten on coin talk is learn all that you can about what you are collecting before running out and spending all your money. Knowledge is definitly the key to this business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
