<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2443090, member: 78153&quot;]The same could be said of any number of other countries today where collecting is a lot more established and who can far more easily afford to collect at the same financial level as US collectors.&nbsp; Except as I described for these Japanese collectors of classic proof gold, I am not aware of it at all.&nbsp; It does exist but the observable evidence concurrently demonstrates it is disproportionately financially irrelevant.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins I have seen in foreign auctions, foreign collectors almost certainly acquired them a long time ago when prices were much cheaper.&nbsp; Almost none I have seen are in TPG holders or in even in higher grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Outside of &quot;investment&quot; buying, foreign collectors disproportionately do not like TPG and will not pay the exorbitant premiums which exist in US collecting for such minimal (if not completely imaginary) differences in quality or this supposed rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you are actually referring to is Chinese (or other buyers) doing so by pure random chance.&nbsp; The evidence today demonstrates this probability is essentially a big fat zilch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
