Hi everybody,
Here's something lots of you will recognise:
Being from Belgium, if I tell people I collect coins, and they give me some they still have at home, those are often Belgian coins of e.g. 5 frank, 1 frank, 25 cents, ... Or when I buy coins by kilo, a lot of the "world coins" are Belgian. If I buy it in a coin shop, it's not that much, but when I buy it from other collectors, who are "getting rid of their doubles", let's say, it's sometimes half of the coins that is Belgian. That results in being half of my double coins Belgian, up to 300 times the same coin (okay, different years, but still). Then, if I'm exchanging here in Belgium, people often have the same "problem" so I hardly ever exchange those common Belgian coins.
If you just adapt "Belgium" and "Belgian" to the country you live in or come from, you certainly will know what I mean.
And that's what could be positive: if you have for example a lot of Spanish/Italian/French/Swedish/Bulgarian/Dutch... coins that you never get rid of because everyone around you has them also, we could maybe exchange those big lots. You will be able to swap the Belgian coins in your country, I can on the other hand exchange your common coins here in Belgium.
Now, if you go and look on my profile, you'll see I try to send by mail as least often as possible. So also here, if possible, I like to do a swap in person. That means, if you're by any chance coming to Belgium, or when I'm going abroad, we can meet to do the swap.
Let's hope for a happy swap,
David
