Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 08/03/2009 06:16 am If you're asking, "Do coins sell for more money in the country they were issued from?", then yes, that's basically true. US coins are more popular (and therefore more expensive) in the US than elsewhere; British coins are more popular in Britain, German coins are most popular in Germany, and so forth. Another general rule is that coins tend not to be very popular in places that don't speak the language that's on the coin. US, British and Australian coins aren't very popular in France, and Arabic coins aren't very popular in English-speaking countries, and so forth. In the case of Latvia, there aren't any other countries which speak Latvian, so that severely restricts the number of people who would be "naturally" interested in Latvian coins. As for your second item, "nordiske" implies to me a Norwegian origin. I can;t say I've heard of a Norwegian coin like that, so I'd assume it's a medal, rather than a coin. 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
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 08/03/2009 10:03 am Agreed about the second piece being a medal. But "Nordisk" is basically the same as "Nordic", so this does not have to be Norway. Here http://www.jbjcoins.dk/Medal/medals_etc.htm (first item in the list) is a medal referring to such an exhibition in Copenhagen for example ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
