Wanted ...This is one of the toughest things to have in the collection of coins. If you are collecting coins in your country, (mine is the United States), patience may be 3-6 months of waiting, but for world coins this is a completely different story! The supply of foreign coins and dealers the ability to replace that supply is so long you could be waiting years instead of months.
I was reminded of this very recently work type set of Russian coins and need one 1/4 Kopeki. Under the price guides is available and easily accessible, but I was thwarted in almost every way. I can not find local traders who diminutive coin and coin struck out show after a coin show. Not so easily beaten I turned to online traders but struck out again. After 6 months I realized this is not to be simple.
Refused to recognize defeat I not of the tricks and tactics still include online auctions. Finally I found what I wanted but was outbid on the first attempt. Is not a problem, thought I will bid more than the current price trends. Still I was outbid at the last minute auction in auction after (ARGH!).
Suddenly is 9 months, still not coin and my patience ran. The next several auctions I offer double the price trend and is still the proposal at the last minute. Then quite in even e-Bay is kopeki not 1/4 coins. After a 12-month search I finally Lost interest and moved into another set. Then something incredible happened another 12 months later (we are up to 2 years for those counting), a coin up on my radar site of secondary online auction and I won it for only $ 9.
At the end of the day of this coin is far from rare, but simply indicates the presence of foreign coins. So you don't loose faith in complete set, instead of it for a bit and just Check once known and this coin finally will be displayed. They are there, We just need to be a little ahhh well patients:)))
