<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pragmatic, post: 2780744, member: 88312&quot;][USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER]&nbsp; I read the article. It goes parallel to what I noticed in coin values from different countries. The article is very precise in not ignoring exceptions to the rule. A couple of weeks ago, I was purchasing some random coins from a local vendor; there was a palestinian coin within the pile of coins on tray. He tried to convince me to take it; but it was badly worn (letters wiped out). He further commented that coins from palestine are very expensive if in good shape. I thought he is bullshi**ng me till i went home and searched for coins from palestine. Surprisingly almost all palestenian items on ebay were expensive like hell. I later understood that they are very expensive because they are very rare, let alone the political background of these coins; they prove the existence of a state.for which reason local and arab collectors crave for these coins and buy them at any cost!! Here again, it seems to me &quot;demand&quot; is a major factor decisive of a coin value.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the proof coin; if i saw that indian coin before your reply, I would have thought &quot;wtf&quot;! It looks more circulated than most circulated coins look.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Egypt, coin market is stagnant, because of inflation we are suffering from. This however hasn&#039;t changed yet the value of coins as they were used ro be. Paradoxically, with infation, the price of coins doubled and tripled.</p><p><br /></p><p>How long could the country and people endure inflation and economic collapse would decide how the coun marker progress or regress. It is however in the zone of the unseen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
