<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2518994, member: 59737"]I'd personally recommend you avoid buying anything "rare" unless you have amassed a great amount of knowledge on such coins. Rare coins are often counterfeited and/or overpriced. You can pick up a very worn version of an old British coin for cheap (I paid 10 cents for this one on the bottom of this photo). Is it rare? No. Is it worth much? No. Is it older than the country that I live in? Yes, which I find to be really cool.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/fij-2-horz-vert-jpg.533514/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
