<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 1930444, member: 69089&quot;]I’ve been interested in world coins for years. Decades, actually.&nbsp; But in no way am I an expert on “world coins” per se.&nbsp; The landscape is simply too vast.&nbsp; It would take a lifetime of study to master the subject.&nbsp; But that’s what I like about it — world coins are an antidote to boredom, because there’s always something new and different to discover around every turn.</p><p><br /></p><p>As others have said, get the Krause world coin catalogs and study them.&nbsp; From the standpoint of a collector, you’ll just naturally gravitate to some over others.&nbsp; It might be particular countries, or, as in my case, regions (Europe and Latin America) and historical significance (British Empire).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As a dealer, however, you’ll obviously want to identify where the market is.&nbsp; Canada and Mexico are hugely popular with collectors.&nbsp; Cameroon and Malawi, not so much.&nbsp; So I think you’re on the right track with this:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would add the key western European countries to your list — particularly France, Spain, the German States, and most definitely pre-decimal Great Britain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
