<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1328962, member: 25270&quot;]I agree with everything you said, Medoraman. I know I&#039;ve gotten a ton of good deals because I caught people snoozing, and it more than makes up for the ones I can&#039;t find. A high percentage of American collectors don&#039;t care about world coins. Even the coin shop where I go doesn&#039;t want them. I watch as people try to sell them to the shop and they strongly discourage them, usually advising them to give them to kids to play with. For many people, the only reason they&#039;d ever look at a foreign coin is if it&#039;s silver, and if it isn&#039;t silver, they don&#039;t care. I don&#039;t understand how someone could find this a satisfying hobby that would last for decades if all they do is focus on the relatively limited world that comprises U.S. coinage. But many of those people spend their time seeking higher and higher grades, and this doesn&#039;t appeal to me. They spend $50 on one coin, whereas I bring home 250 for that price. That makes more sense to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>But anyway, the only reason these few Mexican coins really bug me is that I&#039;m so close to completing the set that I set my sights on. I still need dozens for my British set and my French set. My Greek set is not too far away from completion, but that&#039;s a relatively recent goal. But Mexico was one of the first two countries I set out to collect, and I&#039;m within 10-15 coins of completing it (under the parameters I established), so it&#039;s tough when I simply can&#039;t make any progress anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
