[QUOTE="coinaline, post: 24562230, member: 115811"]After looking at some world coin lots on Ebay and missing out on quite a few, I was wondering what you think are popular or in demand countries and why. I am still haunted by the loss of my first collection that was made up in good part by sentimental donations from my parents who had worked and traveled in Asia before I got here, as well as my Dad's later business trips to Europe and Asia. So, I can't help but find myself bidding on coin lots matching the same time periods from Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Macau. They are being bid way out of my price range and I'm just curious why you guys think that Asia is so popular in the world coin scene. Most of these coins are post WW2 to 1990s. I had always assumed that with the prior wars in the region and returning veterans that there would have been plenty of these coins passed down in the US and they would be on par price wise with other regions. I'd love to hear your theories on what countries are pricing higher and why. Also, what countries do you find especially fascinating and why if you don't mind sharing. I would love any suggestions for future pursuits. Thank you![/QUOTE]
