<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2391392, member: 71234&quot;]If I buy a large collection of British or mixed coins, I usually push all the modern commemoratives aside or only count their metal value if any. Once the initial marketing dies down after a year or so, no one really wants them enough to spring any good money for them. They are happy to wait and pick them up for a fraction of the price after a rew years if they want them at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nowadays these things are made in such large numbers and for so many occasions the market is just about saturated with issues. No one can or should try to keep up, the producers will keep churning them out as long as people buy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that modern non-circulation coinage that I buy in when picking up a collection that does contain stuff that I want (Pre 1960 UK and world coins) I sell at flea markets for a fraction of the issue price to young collectors, or non-collectors who just fancy then for some nostalgic reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way my collection grows is randomly from what might be called finds in the wild, coin lots in non coin auctions, stuff people&nbsp; unearth and bring me because they know I like coins and notes, stuff I just happen across at the right price and even the occasional nice piece I find in large lots of junk silver bought as metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
