<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3989148, member: 22377&quot;]The “Art Coins” made by foreign mints (like the Mint of Poland, Perth Mint, CIT, etc) can have a strong collector base (usually not so much on forums that are more US focused or classic coin focused). There are many interesting designs and plenty of areas to collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices can be all over the place (from more affordable to ultra expensive) and second market value can be equally variable. Many don’t hold their value over the long term (there are cases where some have increased in the short term but then dropped back to issue price or lower after a while). Part of the reason is that there is just too much supply. At one point (around 10-12 years ago) there were only a few major series, but with their success many others joined the bandwagon and began making their own. A great example is the Mongolian Wildlife series. It was fairly unique and well received when it started in 2007. The first coin even won the annual Coin of the Year prize. The market value shot up from an initial $75 to several thousand! With the success came many spinoffs (similar looking coins from other mints) as well as counterfeiting. This coin still holds some value but is well off it’s peak years (now they go in the $300-$500 range). Many of the following coins issued in this series (it was still going into 2019) have really dropped off and can now be had in the $75-$200 range (which is less than issue price for some of them).</p><p><br /></p><p>here is a link to the Mongolian coin I referenced:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.coin-invest.li/coins/gulo-gulo/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coin-invest.li/coins/gulo-gulo/" rel="nofollow">https://www.coin-invest.li/coins/gulo-gulo/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
