[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1462171, member: 8797"]I got a little over 14# non-US coins in 3 separate dealer liquidation auctions a while back. I posted some errors, but have found more, and I intend to show all of them in a thread once I get them all ID'd and in 2x2's. I only paid around $180 combined. There were proofs, silver coins, and all the way back to 1761. Probably 1000 coins give or take, and overall I think they went for far less than what they should have. (I got them for) :) I don't much care what's hot now, as I collect for my collection and I go where I feel the best deal takes me. I agree that non-US coins are underpriced and as more people around the world improve their condition they will ask the same question we respond with when people ask "why collect coins?" .............. "What better to collect than money?" Then by the time I'm retirement age I'll make a killing.... maybe :) Maybe you, too, should hold what you have and get what you can "while the market is down" ;)[/QUOTE]
