[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 1461821, member: 29458"]I just bought a huge tin full of US coins at an auction the other day,really cheap,I only had one person bid against me and he dropped out after 2 bids, they are classed as world or foreign coins to me. I should make a killing selling them to US collectors after I have sorted them. :D I don`t find them anymore attractive or collectable than coins from anywhere else. The US produces more error coins than just about the rest of the world put together, this maybe from shoddy workmanship, poor materials or inferior minting processes, or even a deliberate ploy to wet the appetite of US collectors. US coin collectors have this habit of encasing their collected coins in plastic and assigning them a number that differentiates them from a similar one with some miniscule mark. This all adds to the price.[/QUOTE]
