Whether a coin is worth owning is really a matter of personal judgement and feelings. I'm a world coin collector because I appreciate the enormous variety, and the historical narratives that can be drawn from them. To me, trying to complete date and mint sets of
US coins is boring, scores of pieces which all look alike except for little details. For far less than what many people pay for a
Jefferson nickel, I got a Thai silver baht from the first minting of round, flat coins in that country, in the days of King Mongkut more than a century and a half ago.
