<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 672515, member: 19765&quot;]It&#039;s true that alot of world coins are cheaper in price but there&#039;s a whole lot to consider here.&nbsp; First of all alot of the US coinage was made of silver and alot of it is higher quality but not always the case.&nbsp; Sure demand and marketing plays a huge part as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me the bottom line is beauty, and that is still in the eye of the beholder.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some ancient coins and to be totally honest I miss the beauty and passion completely.&nbsp; Luckily my view on ancients doesn&#039;t govern the market.&nbsp; I see some coinage from Hispanic areas or Asia that I just have to have even if they&#039;re not made of silver.&nbsp; It also has alot to do with how one started collecting coins in the first place.&nbsp; Say if Grandpa collected US coins and that&#039;s how you started, maybe that&#039;s the way you will end up.&nbsp; Me, I look at all different coins from all different countries and when ever I see a coin I like, then I usually get it.&nbsp; I guess that&#039;s why I have a hodge podge collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
