<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 1574235, member: 16729&quot;]Nothing against US coins (I live in the USA), but it&#039;s just that everyone else is collecting them here (and therefore the higher prices).&nbsp; I mostly collect South Korea.&nbsp; The main reason is because even with my limited budget, I can assemble a completely UNIQUE collection of coins that no other collector in the US probably has (or probably cares to have!) if I just use patience and laser-like focus.&nbsp; Due to my efforts, I have BU examples of every year of EVERY regular-strike coin that South Korea produced, even the ones that were only later produced in the thousands for mint sets.&nbsp; If I stay away from the rare proof coins and proof sets (which are mostly sold in Korea for very high prices), I can focus on getting really nice BU examples of the key-date regular-strike coins.&nbsp; Traveling to Korea almost every summer on business helps, too.&nbsp; I can hit the coin stores in Seoul on those occasions.&nbsp; Because of my travels I&#039;ve made some good connections with brick-and-mortar and online retailers in Korea, which is important sometimes in getting the rarer stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out my albums at ebay:</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7G2XeDrMHI" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7G2XeDrMHI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7G2XeDrMHI</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
