<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 2378832, member: 69089&quot;]I see the same thing with world base metal coins — I&#039;m continually surprised by the deals I can find on good quality XF to UNC coppers for my British Empire collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s true as well with world silver, but on a more selective basis. I see some great values on smaller silver, not so much on crowns; they&#039;ve become pretty popular. Fortunately I started collecting crowns long ago, so there aren&#039;t many remaining on my want list.</p><p><br /></p><p>I occasionally buy world coins online, but where I always hit the jackpot is coin shows. The majority of dealers at the shows in my area don&#039;t touch world coins, and those that do are often willing to part with them for far below book value (they offer; I don&#039;t even have to ask!). </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, there&#039;s also the advantage of being able to examine them in hand under a loupe.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever left a show with a coin I regretted buying later, which I can&#039;t say with online purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
