[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 665968, member: 112"]Not really, and as a general rule, no, they aren't. Just about any world coin of comparable age and rarity is a fraction of the cost of a US coin. This coin for example, the design was issued for a total of 4 years with a combined mintage for all 4 years of 38,000. And this date had the smallest mintage and is the most expensive of the series. Now Conrad can tell you what he paid for that coin if he wishes, but it could be compared to a 1847-O half eagle in regard to age, size of the coin, and mintage. And I suspect that more of the half eagles exist today than do examples of this coin. Now go look at what a 1847-O half eagle cost in MS64.[/QUOTE]
