<p>[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 37436, member: 669"]No studies, but as the researchers say, I can offer some anecdotal evidence about collecting in Japan. There are dozens of dealers advertising in the annual Japanese Numismatic Dealers Asociation catalog; the Japan Mint Bureau has an active Mint Set program and issues frequent commemoratives; and the major coin shows in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka and a few other centers have significant attendance figures - although nothing like the top U.S. shows. At the Osaka Coin Show a couple of years ago there were about 70-80 tables. Many Japanese collectors are into gold as much as many U.S. collectors are into Morgans. In general JNDA prices are higher than Krause for the same coins, and many Japanese dealers won't consider selling anything at retail below catalog.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just based on what I have seen in postings in this and other forums I suspect that Great Britain and Germany are the most active numismatic countries in Europe.
