<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 3168164, member: 25270"]I collect more "entry level" coins, like what you can find in a dealer's junk box, but I agree that size definitely seems to matter. It's the big coins that catch a collector's eye. They have more room for a nice design and there's something appealing about holding a big coin in your hand. And dealers who are not knowledgeable about world coins tend to think the big ones are worth more. I'll see dealers who have junk bins of different price ranges tend to throw the common, bigger coins in the higher value bins because I think they assume people will pay more for them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other side of this is almost always the times I find a great deal in these junk bins is the small coins. They get overlooked by all but the most knowledgeable collectors, and that's where the value is found. Again, totally different level than what you're collecting, but I'm more likely to find a $10 coin for 25 cents in a value bin if it's small than if it's huge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
