<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2118147, member: 56370&quot;]I totally agree! This is much more important than absolute rarity.&nbsp; A coin from Vanuatu or Togo with a mintage of 500 is never going to be as valuable as a coin with the same mintage from Russia or China.&nbsp; Coins from those two countries are hot because of their unprecedented economic growth.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I was fortunate to acquire a couple of Russian mint sets from the mid 90&#039;s for about $10 apiece which now sell in the hundreds of dollars.&nbsp; It turns out that due to the hyperinflation during the Yeltsin years the standard circulating denominations were produced only for mint sets in 1995 and 1996.&nbsp; As a result, these coins are in demand by everyone putting together a type set, and since living standards and disposable income have risen so much during the past decade there are many more ordinary Russians driving demand.&nbsp; However, there is a flip side to that as I am interested to see how the current problems in the Russian economy will impact prices of Russian coins.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what prices of coins from &quot;up and coming&quot; Asian economies such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. are doing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
