<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1968298, member: 39&quot;]When I buy a European coin here, the question of whether it is sought after elsewhere in the world is not really an issue for me. Once in a while it may be interesting to buy a piece outside Europe and have it shipped (or bring it) here, but in most cases it is not worth the effort. (Depends on what one collects, of course.) I may well buy a coin in a lower grade if it really fills a gap, but I think that in many other cases I would just be angry at myself later, when faced with the question of whether I should buy the same coin in a better grade. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the topic, ahem, here is a newly issued piece that I just got myself. (Image from the mint, but it arrived today.) It is a Finnish collector coin from a series dedicated to ethics. The first issue in that series (2009) was about Peace and Security, others were about Multiculturalism, Protecting the Baltic Sea ... This year&#039;s issue is about Literacy. You see the Latin alphabet, Braille characters, musical notes, binary code, but also (on the other side) patterns from cave paintings. Usually I do not buy those surcharged collector coins, but I find the theme quite interesting and like the design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]348724[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
