<p>[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 3666213, member: 76965"]I feel US coins are hugely overpriced with collectors paying many $$$$$ for coins with a fairly large population when compared to something from GB, continental Europe, Latin America or even Imperial Russia. Apart from some very desirable crowns, you should be able to buy a decent crown for a fraction of he price of a comparable Morgan.

[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 3666213, member: 76965"]I feel US coins are hugely overpriced with collectors paying many $$$$$ for coins with a fairly large population when compared to something from GB, continental Europe, Latin America or even Imperial Russia. Apart from some very desirable crowns, you should be able to buy a decent crown for a fraction of he price of a comparable Morgan. Some Talers and desirable earlier Roubles, on the other hand, could prove very expensive. Better to stick to slabbed coins if you aren't confident of your own expertise in recognizing a fake. Unfortunately eBay is full of fakes....you just have to look at the offerings for 1934 Crowns to realise how many fakes are available ;). Also look at the earlier thread relating to large silver coins for some good suggestions: [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/world-silver-crown-size-type-coin-collectors.332573/[/URL] And if you decide to cross over to the dark side and take a peek at ancients, there are always the impressive Tetradrachms from 2000+ years ago :D. Happy hunting.[/QUOTE]
