<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 46771, member: 112"]There's a couple of reasons actually. First of all the US coin market has been in very bullish phase for going on 5 years now. And like all markets, the coin market cycles up & down. I think this down phase has already started. And typically bear markets will last for up 10 yrs. So buying US coins & expecting value increases would be oxymoronic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, if you were to compare world gold to US gold you would find that in regard to rarity, mintage, date and cost - the world gold coins had smaller mintages, has fewer surviving examples and can be many times more rare than US coins. Bust most importantly - the world gold coins are a fraction of the cost of US gold. For years, world coinage was not very popular among collectors. That is changing now in a big way. So world gold has a much, much better chance for future value appreciation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
