    What modern Canadian series do you think are good to collect or do you like to collect and do you think they have any long term investment potential.

    I find I'm partial to modern coins and particularly Canadian and Australian. However, I also look for investment potential. I am very new to collecting coins for reasons other than simply as a bullion purchase and when I posed this question to a coin dealer they suggested that I should by bullion as an investment but there is little investment potential in moderns, even if they have a high content of bullion. I find that hard to believe though.

    Howdy, neighbour. Im still new to the whole whole coin collecting "thing". Twoonies were way to easy to collect there isn't a ton of variation, some of the errors are kind of cool though. As far as other modern stuff goes, there are a ton of canadian quarters out there. I'm working on filling in all of the post '67 stuff before I start the silver ones.

    I really enjoy collecting loonies. 25 years isn't exactly a long run so it's fairly easy to put together a full set. If you stick to it you can probably get a complete set of circulated ones from your pocket change. Plus there is a wide variety of ones from mint sets that weren't intended for circulation.

    With regards to investment potential of loonies, they're pretty inexpensive and common so I don't really see any investment potential. For an investment I would go with the canadian widlife bullion series.
