<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2258368, member: 16729&quot;]Well, now that I think of it, I&#039;m not so sure if I really want people to be interested in S. Korean coins anymore!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What I like about them is that they are cool (my opinion), the number of extant examples of the high-grade, key-date coins is quite low, and because they have &quot;thin&quot; demand, they are affordable (for me).&nbsp; If the rest of you start liking them, that will not be good for any of my future acquisitions.&nbsp; So don&#039;t you all go liking them!</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it would be good to stimulate their popularity, but I will not be holding my breath, that&#039;s for sure...&nbsp;&nbsp; The popularity of anything is based on some pretty vague factors that I certainly won&#039;t be controlling anytime soon. </p><p><br /></p><p>About the Asian market:&nbsp; I mostly meant that the East Asian market is already having an effect on some coins <u>that those of us in North America are currently selling</u>.&nbsp; Many Chinese and Korean buyers are sourcing their coins from North America (they pick up Chinese coins, Korean coins, other Asian coins, but also other World Coins, in general).&nbsp; Sometimes, what this means is that they are cherrypicking us(!), which is at least good for the buyer (right?), especially if we could care less about that coin that we don&#039;t understand, or like, in the first place.&nbsp; But I would imagine that many sellers/business owners DO actually care about such things, so I just thought that it would behoove North American sellers to have a <b>complete picture</b> of the numismatic market for the coins that they sell.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Like you said, Asia is starting to become part of that market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
