<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 5553078, member: 73489&quot;]You would think that the vastly larger number of types of coins might discourage collecting since you have so many to choose from, but it seems to work the other way with people becoming niche investors.&nbsp; I guess they are NOT overwhelmed.&nbsp; And as you state, European countries do have a longer history than the United States (especially if you include ancient empires <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). </p><p><br /></p><p>I can relate to that niche collecting interest because I am what some would call a narrow Type collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, beautiful coins, robp.&nbsp; Congrats and enjoy &#039;em.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, <i>would you guess there are fewer or more coin collectors in the entire EU/Europe (throw in the UK) than in the U.S. ?&nbsp; Are coin shows as well attended ?&nbsp; Are Ebay or the local mass-internet auction site as well-frequented ?&nbsp; What about the pure auction sites like Heritage, which boasts I think 900,000 users (OK, some of those are non-U.S. but I&#039;ll bet the bulk are Americans) ? </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Look forward to your thoughts when you can respond.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
