<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2424493, member: 78153&quot;]It is apparent that British coins are preferred by US collectors compared to the vast majority of other non-US coins which is why the prices are higher given equivalent quality and scarcity.&nbsp; It&#039;s easy enough for &quot;big budget&quot; US collectors to afford them since they are so much cheaper than US coins.&nbsp; I know TPG has little following elsewhere, there are many high grade and expensive British coins in TPG holders sold in the US and I don&#039;t see these TPG coins being sold in British auctions except in limited numbers.&nbsp; From this, I conclude that a substantial percentage (as in maybe as high as 50%) of the more expensive British TPG coins are bought by Americans.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the future, I expect US collectors to continue to prefer them though it will likely decrease somewhat as the demographic composition here changes.&nbsp; I also expect most Americans and Brits to become poorer or a lot poorer over the indefinite future and I consider it likely that this could negatively impact prices or reduce future appreciation versus what it would be otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
