<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1216282, member: 26302&quot;]It sounds like two things. One, you were at a small local show in the US where most collectors only collect US coins. I have bought some good stuff at such shows, since dealers would get them in collections and not have a way to sell them, I have never had luck selling any foreign material at such places.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, I have seen this before, in 1979 and the early 80&#039;s. You cannot blame dealers for concentrating on what is bringing them the most cash right now, but a lot of true collectors are getting pushed to the side somewhat by bullion deals. As long as bullion is hot with the general public you will see this. I don&#039;t think it was until about 84 or 85 that dealers where I grew up started bringing their &quot;boring&quot; coins to shows again and trying to again cultivate this business. There will be a few of course, (many good dealers on this board), but the majority of dealers will only be concentrating on bullion for some more time, and like I said business wise cannot blame them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like others have said, try either Ebay or wait until a show specializing in world coins comes around. Local shows have historically not been a great place to sell non-US material.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
