[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3204488, member: 78244"]When the interest-to-price ratio of one area becomes much lower compared to other areas, it is time to abandon that one in favor of others. I use this criterion to determine whether or not I want to enter an area. But another aspect with US coins that is discouraging is the hair splitting with regards to condition. Is it cleaned or not? Is this scratch market-acceptable? Is this a 66 or 67? Ancients and medievals are never held to this standard. A “damaged” coin is perfectly acceptable within the market; the price would just be lower. There is little angst with regards to grading. The whole market is really relaxed. Already doing that. My focus is currently Ancient Chinese and European medievals. Both are very interesting to me and relatively overlooked. I don’t sell coins which I know will be very hard to replace.[/QUOTE]
