<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3208452, member: 78244&quot;]I have done just this and came up with a more-eloquent set of reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The ratio of how much interest I have in US coins to the price I have to pay for them has decreased substantially. (So, they are overpriced <i>to me</i>) There are so many other areas of numismatics that are more interesting to me for much less money.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Also, US coins are graded on a hair-splitting scale where a single point can mean the difference of hundreds or thousands of dollars. And you have to worry about damage being considered market acceptable or not, and if not it is a junk coin ignored in the market. Plus everything has to be certified to be able to get what it is worth. The numbers are what makes it commoditized. It is annoying and unnecessarily stressful. I’d prefer to move to another area where this is not the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. There is very little flexibility. If your interests in the US market become too pricy to justify the moderate interest, you get stuck. If you broaden your scope you can just move on to something far more interesting for much less money. And if that area becomes too expensive, move on again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
