<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 1123966, member: 5787&quot;]As a person that has traveled to many countries including many affluent countires in Europe, I think that Americans in general are more driven to acquire &quot;stuff&quot;.&nbsp; When I visited my friends&#039; homes in Europe, they had far less &quot;stuff&quot; cluttering their homes.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t so obsessed with money and the need to acquire &quot;stuff&quot;.&nbsp; I&#039;m always amazed at some of my friends in our country who will have garages, attics, and large barns filled with &quot;stuff&quot;.&nbsp; Therefore, it is only natural that we would have some people who would collect coins to meet our needs to collect &quot;stuff&quot;.&nbsp; I know that I&#039;m in that category.&nbsp; It is part of being American.&nbsp; And as many have mentioned, Americans that like coin &quot;stuff&quot; will collect American coins.&nbsp; Thus, the price differential of American coins over other countries coins is based on the demand from American consumers.&nbsp; It is the American need to collect &quot;stuff&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
