<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1735198, member: 25270"]I feel like world coin collectors aren't sticklers for condition the way U.S. coin collectors are. If you go over to the U.S. coin discussions on this forum, everything is "Is my coin MS 64 or MS 65" and so on. I feel like it doesn't matter as much with foreign coins. I know that when I buy, as long as the coins are in decent shape, the prices don't seem to vary much between good and XF or so. For the rare coins, condition still matters for the really nice grades, but I don't see people saying things like "I'm collecting MS 65 British pennies." The few times I've been to coin shows and seen dealers who had common coins priced high based on condition I felt like they were ripping people off (let's say they had a 1947 British penny in great shape for $8). No matter what Krause says, people just don't pay those prices. Maybe it's just my perception. What do others think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
