[QUOTE="jimmy_goodfella, post: 15592, member: 919"]i think being in the uk has some advantages and some disadvantages for me. advantages are that buyers are as you said not as informed about usa coins, and also fewer of these are for sale here.though there does seem good intrest for them.especially of course the morgan dollars.thus is also true with buying especially not so popular usa coins like dimes or cents there is not that many collectors of them but like i said everyone loves a big shiny dollar. the disadvantage is aquiring coins is a lot harder you have to deal mostly on the internet there aint no big usa coin fares here.So you miss a lot of stuff and instead of buying straight from your buying from someone thats marking up what they bought at a fare.you are also paying large postage costs which eat into profit again. in british coins the market here to me looks similar though here coins of low mintage and high grade still dont realise prices you would expect.we are awash with good grade coins of 100-200 year old that are not making much more than silver or gold bullion value.[/QUOTE]
