<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 22112, member: 669&quot;]Hi Matt, and welcome to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ve already gotten some excellent advice, but let me add one thing that no one else has mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>The U.S. not only has no monopoly on beautiful coins, but its coins are only a drop in the bucket when you consider that there are, at most, a few hundred types struck over less than 250 years, whereas there are thousands of distinct types - struck, cast and molded over thousands of years - when you open your heart to world and ancient coinage.&nbsp; Pricewise you can often acquire a gorgeous example of a limited mintage gold coin for a fraction of the cost of a higher grade U.S. high-mintage type.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are as many ways to collect world coinage as there are collectors.&nbsp; You can accumulate single circluated coins from every country, limit yourself to MS68/PR68 or better coins from a single series, or just about anything else you can conceive.&nbsp; Dip your toes in Darkside waters, and you&#039;ll never regret it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
