Message:: [QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2400568, member: 16729"]You seem to know something about the local market in South Africa for their own coins.  If so, your knowledge about that numismatic market and those "price spreads" that exist not only between grades, but also between prices in SA and outside of SA, would be very enlightening for the rest of us.  If you are the "writing type" of person, I encourage you to do a general, introductory-level article on South African coinage touching on the coins most widely collected, their value range, the extent of interest by hobbyists in South Africa, major numismatic organizations, the importance of third-party grading -- that sort of thing.  You could publish it here, and if the powers-that-be like it, it could well become one of those "featured articles" on the Home Page, especially if accompanied by some images of these coins.  Or perhaps submit it to COINage Magazine, which takes outside submissions.  I have an article under consideration there, hopefully to be published soon.  Ask me if you have questions.[/QUOTE]
