Do U.S. coins appreciate in value more than coins from other countries?
High quality coins can be obtained from numerous countries, and many collectors follow each series. Currently in the United States, U.S. coins are most actively traded because collectors are more familiar with U.S. coins than they are with non-U.S. coins, making U.S. coins more liquid than coins from other countries. Because of a general lack of knowledge of coins from other countries, major non U.S. rarities may trade at a fraction of what a comparable U.S. coin might cost. Some investors believe that non-U.S. rarities may represent key opportunities for future appreciation, and also be worthwhile additions to their collections.
