<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 1412658, member: 32000&quot;]You bring up a good point. Foreign coins with precious metal content are suffering, big time! They&#039;re being melted down at an alarming rate. Only the UNC types or those in slabs are being preserved. The rest are being sold greedily to smelters. A lot of the collector owned galleries and shops are disappearing. Many shops in the LA area are now operated by partners or new owners who care not for collecting but for bullion profit. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what the future of these coins will be? :rollling:</p><p><br /></p><p>On a sad note: Mr. Hauser of the coin shop in La Verne, Ca. past away a few weeks ago in his sleep. R.I.P. to a very kind collector and shop owner. Bye my friend. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
