<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 26438016, member: 24091"]The biggest group of world coin collectors is actually in the United States. Analysis I read back in the spring was that owners of world coins in the US would be one of the few net beneficiaries of tariffs since it would become prohibitively expensive to import anything. The other winners would be coin buyers in Europe who would no longer have to compete with Americans to acquire coins. There's been a lot of conversation about whether tariffs apply to coins; myself it sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth trying to buy something overseas then learning the tariff ropes. I've been a world coin collector from the get-go, all the way back to 1984. Better designs, vastly more rare/scarce in absolute terms, fewer collectors competing to acquire them, and generally closer to bullion value for many of the issues, even from the early 19th century. And then there is history associated with many of them, there's a ton to learn about the circumstances surrounding the coins when issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
