I discovered for my own interests and tight budget , that I will focus on non-US coins , from a handful of countries , from a specific time period. I have learned so much about the European influence on Central &amp; South America during the 18th &amp; 19th century because of my interest in their coinage of those eras.</p><p><br /></p><p>I highly recommend that you buy or subscribe to some Krause publications.
