<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2698560, member: 39&quot;]What [USER=38849]@doug444[/USER] wrote about giving/leaving a JFK half in addition to an actual tip, now that is a neat idea indeed. A coin collector may keep it, others may give it to a friend or kid ... and that could be the start of a new collection. Or even collector. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for existing collectors, I think that US coins are actually sought after here in Europe, but that also applies to coinage from other countries with a long continued tradition. As far as I can tell, there are a few areas that are not that popular here, such as collecting every year of the same type. (That is something you usually do when you collect coins from one country only.) Also, error coins, regardless of the issuing country, tend to not be a big deal. (Of course some collect them, just not that many.) And the whole slabbing and third party grading business is ... tolerated but not encouraged. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
