I understand popularity, however I believe as US coins become more expensive, more will gravitate towards the darkside as many of the comparable errors are a fraction of the US counterpart.
This is discussing major mint errors to include off-metals, wrong metals, double denominations (often decades between the two coins)

I agree 100%. I feel that I get far more 'bang for the buck' from world coins these days.
Yup, that why I've been a life long Darksider

There's not much to discuss. This is the understatement of the week.
Preachin' to the choir, you are!
Except I say that Darksides are often MUCH MORE interesting than US, at a fraction of the cost.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
the costa rica 5 centavos struck on 2 centavos is cool. given the 42 year difference. I see this as similar to the rarities of the US mint that cost thousands.
I've got a Darkside pattern in my crosshairs right now, and hope to make it the next addition to my Box of 20.
A US pattern of the same year, in similar grade, would cost somewhere in the low five figures, I have little doubt.
The one I'm looking at is under four hundred bucks.
It is drop-dead gorgeous, high Specimen grade, killer toning, and has a beautiful design.

You can say this about patterns, as well, and I'm not just talking those modern "fantasy" patterns.

I agree about the patterns. some of the old mexico patterns are exceptionally rare, and very inexpensive in comparison.
I once had 8-10 us patterns, they are neat. but very hard to sell.
