<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 55350, member: 1873"]Great post houston_ray! The biggest difference I can find between you and I is the fact I have hooked up with collectors ALL over the world and do tons of trading with some really great foreign collectors. They provide what I want and I in turn do the same for them and we make every effort to keep values within a few bucks of each other. I just received a shipment of Austrian silver commemoratives from a Netherlands collector and now must locate $71 worth of coins that he desires to balance things out. I have also found that many foreign coins can be purchased here much cheaper than they can in their home country. Recently I purchase a relatively rare 1800's quarter which was valued in a low grade at $350 euro and I got it for $53 and passed the savings on to a Netherlands collector who knew there was no way he would ever own that coin. Since then I have shipped various coins over to him to sell for me simply because they are worth more, some times much more, than what I paid. We keep a running tab on all our trades and everyone is happy. If it were not for the internet none of this would be possible and I still wouldn't be collecting world coins! Probably, at this time I am sitting on one of the most varied silver euro commemorative collections in the U.S. and the bulk of them has come out of trading. Who do I have to thank? The internet and collecting friends all over the world and I have absolutely loved every minute of it!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
