<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2228711, member: 16729&quot;]Here is a major South Korean retailer who has 1,456 US coins, and 632 US banknotes in his inventory, out of an inventory that specializes in Korean coins and notes.&nbsp;&nbsp; He has about half as many Japanese coins and notes in his inventory (798), and half as many as that for Chinese coins and notes. He has far fewer coins for sale from other countries. He has many more world banknotes, as it seems Koreans are attracted by South American, African, European and other Asian notes that are &quot;pretty&quot; and colorful with unique designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>This retailer exclusively sells to Koreans, and there is no way to purchase from his store, or online, other than with the use of a Korea-based credit card or an account drawing from a Korean bank.&nbsp; There is not an English (or any other language) mirror site for this online retail store.</p><p>Here&#039;s just his US coin inventory:</p><p><a href="http://sujipbank.com/shop/goods/goods_list.php?category=004005" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://sujipbank.com/shop/goods/goods_list.php?category=004005" rel="nofollow">http://sujipbank.com/shop/goods/goods_list.php?category=004005</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So, there obviously IS evidence of an appetite for US numismatics over there.&nbsp;&nbsp; At least in that country...</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for the US coin market being &quot;far more sensitive,&quot;&nbsp; I would have to agree.&nbsp; Micro-graded, micro-priced, and quite commoditized.&nbsp; Much more sensitive to the &quot;overdue corrections&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
