<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2026189, member: 71338"]I love primarily world coins of the 20th century. I don't think 1939 or whatever is a good cutoff point for "most" collectors. That's pretty arbitrary considering: newfoundland coins of the 40s; scarce Biafra coins; all the beautiful issues from France, Italy, Poland, Canada, the Middle East, Latin America, etc. etc. since the 40s; scarcer Great Britain coins like the 1951 large penny; low mintage, high graders like Netherlands larger denominations or Netherlands Antilles; FAO coin series; etc!! The list could go on forever in my eyes. Sure, maybe these coins don't pull prices like classic US coins (overpriced in my opinion), but judging from the activity on eBay and talking to other collectors of all these issues tells you something else. I probably love these modern coins because they are so available and affordable. Regardless, I think there's much to appreciate from the artistry involved, variety, and lower relative mintages. They also have interesting histories if you're willing to look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
