<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1857826, member: 40017&quot;]I would agree - there are a great many British coin collectors over here, and stacks of books about coins going back over centuries. (I have a book called &quot;The Table of English Coins&quot; dated 1763 - before you lot even got started!) </p><p><br /></p><p>Not all collect only ancients - there are specialists in every field. I personally know a collector who only does sixpences of Elizabeth the Firsts reign, and another who wrote the book on variations of Victorian Pennies. Even modern coins - like the series of 29 Fifty Pence coins produced for the 2012 Olympics - have attracted many new collectors to the game.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the domestic market in the US tends to take a very insular view of the world - if it is not American, it is not of interest - which results in far fewer &quot;non-American&quot; coins or books being stocked. And it is the same over here - if you judged the American market on the number of US coins at our coin fairs you would assume nobody over there was interested![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
