    I just wonder how many people in the world collect Statehood quarters and could not think of a nice way to put it. image

    How else will I find out if there is a market for them ?

    No, I'm a foreigner who doesn't like American coins, and I'm definitely a lurker.

    Over 20 years ago, I walked into a coin store in Spain. They had a bunch of Seated Liberty dimes which were priced very low, and I bought them all. I've always wondered how they ended up in Spain.

    I really don't know how to answer this poll.


    Most of my collection consist of US coins, but made in China.

    Could you add another category ?

    I pretty much cleaned out the one coin shop I found in Leon, Spain 25 years ago. IIRC, I made about 1500% profit on what I found.

    Last year in San Sebastian, Spain, the owner kinda laughed at me, and said that even Spain had eBay image

    I have learned one way how to tell if the person you're talking to is too obsessed with coins for their own good...

    You tell them about the cool trip to Rome you just got back from the other day and the first question out of their mouth is: "so did you find any good coins shops in town?" The Colosseum? The Vatican Museum? Tossing a coin into Trevi Fountain? The hot Italian belladonnas who look like Giada De Laurentiis? No. They could've asked you about three dozen other things pertaining to your recent trip but the first thing they had to ask was about coin shops. Talk about being one-dimensional.
