<p>[QUOTE="Scott Kirkner, post: 14990663, member: 144171"]Hello:</p><p><br /></p><p>I have just inherited a modest coin collection (maybe 10 pounds) of coins that appear to be from European and West Asian countries that are primarily from the mid-1900s (40s-60s). I have never collected coins before (I am a sportscard collector), and most of the coins are fairly obscure (at least to me as a non-collector). I have found a few of the coins/sets in Ebay sold, but the bulk of them have no current listings/sales (probably because they are 60+ year old foreign coins). Outside of gold and silver coins, do vintage foreign coins typically have much demand, or that primarily limited to US coins? This is not an offer to sell, but I am wondering where experienced collectors would advise someone in my position to go to get an idea of what is potentially valuable and what is borderline junk-metal. Thanks in advance for any insight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
