spica Valued Member France 285 Posts	Posted 05/23/2007 09:02 am I search for this coin : 1 dollar 200 Leif Ericson silver proof Image: leif ericson.jpg 21.31 KB I found some on ebay but very expensive ($90 - $130) or sellers who don't ship to France. Do you know seller or website with reasonable price ? Why american coins are so expensive ? Edited by Bryan1315 05/23/2007 8:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 05/23/2007 8:31 pm American coins are, in general, more expensive than coins from just about anywhere else. My guess as to the reason for this is that America seems to have a higher proportion of it's population who are coin collectors. That, combined with a large population to start with, creates a lot of demand, which drives the prices up. More and more collectors in the US are turning to world coins, simply because they're cheaper. Another factor which has increased demand for this particular coin is it's motif and relatively innovative design. America hasn't issued too many coins commemorating the achievements of non-Americans. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/23/2007 8:36 pm Very well put Sap spica the book value of this coin in UNC is $95 & Proof is $82 I have found that with most (except gold) USA Commemorative coins you can find them for about 50-60% of their book value if not less sometimes. Always ask the seller if they are willing to ship to France if you offer to pay the addition shipping charges. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

mfry Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 11:38 pm But it's a very beautiful coin. I almost had one bought, with the Kronen companion, but was outbid the last second. I love the way it looks! I still want one, and a Jackie Robinson, and a Crispus Attackus. Report this Post to the Staff
