Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5531579, member: 73489"]That's fascinating, thanks ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Be interesting if HA had the numbers for an entire year...and maybe 5 or 10 years ago to compare them to.  That way, you put HARD NUMBERS on what we are trying to figure out anectdotally or via guestimates. The ratio was 1.5:1 in favor of the U.S. coins but if we did it over a few months or the last year or compared it to 5 or 10 years ago, you get some very useful information, IMO. This is the type of information we can now get in the digital age. Just like they can actually see via GPS the actual cars in a parking lot at a huge mall and compare it to the same time period 1 and 5 and 10 years ago....you now have registered users, bidders, items sold, etc...from all these websites. Maybe an all-seeing trade group or something will start representing coin and currency collectors and aggregate all the data for the benefit of the hobbyists, collectors, dealers, auction sites, etc.  That would be A-#1. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
