<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmark, post: 1545252, member: 38168&quot;]I congratulate you for doing so, this earns you my respect.:thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>As others have already stated mintage numbers are not everything, if a design is not popular and doesn&#039;t meet sufficient demand it will not prosper in numismatic value as a consequence.</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern coins are great to collect in my opinion, there are many undiscovered and undervalued gems out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A general categorization of modern coins is the separation in circulating and non-circulating coinage. Some of the more known and respectively numismatic interesting circulating coins in Europe are for example strikes of San Marino, Monaco and Vatican City. Among the non-circulating coinage a break up in three main groups is possible: government issued commems,&nbsp; mint on demand (on commission)/agency releases and semi numismatic bullion. Popular mint on demand issues are the Mongolia 2012 Silver 500 Togrog Long-Eared Hedgehog Coin or the&nbsp; 2006 Red-Back Spider 1oz Silver Proof Coin, among the agency releases the African Wildlife Somalian Elephant Silver Coin (minted in Germany by Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt) or the Cook Island Bounty bullion coins (minted also in Germany by Heimerle + Meule).</p><p><br /></p><p>Semi numismatic bullion coins which have seen at least partially rising premium include the Australian Kookaburra, Koala, Lunar series, the Chinese Panda and the Great Britain Britannia (they&#039;re in my opinion an interesting combination of collecting and investing).</p><p><br /></p><p>As with everything, having too high expectations of the future financial development and the concentration thereon can lead very fast to disappointment. Collecting is done for the joy and investment for the profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
