<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1093312, member: 26302&quot;]I find the best and worst thing that every happened to US coin collecting was the Red Book. It is wonderful to have so much info right in a tidy book. Because of its popularity, and the US&#039;s relative world isolation geographically, US collectors have never really cared for world coins. Go to almost any show here and 95% of the coins for sale are US coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I commented to Harlan Berk at the CICF once how many US ancient collectors there were. He looked at me and said AT MOST 10% of the ancient collectors in the world are from the US. We are a very distinctive minority. I could make an excuse that its because they aren&#039;t found here, but I think the real answer is US collectors by either nature or training are very UScentric in their collecting habits. Its not secret that US coins are probably the most overvalued coins in the world considering rarity. I love my old US holdings, but prefer to move on to more expansive pastures. For others who do too, have very easy pickings here as others have posted about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
