<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onecenter, post: 1271270, member: 8703&quot;]These were the days when the Royal Canadian Mint had a restrained policy on minting commemorative coins.&nbsp; The 1985-1987 Calgary coin program was also a response to the huge number of $5 and $10 silver coins issued for 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, basically, less is more.&nbsp; The set is beautiful and the designs emblematic of the high quality of Royal Canadian Mint coinage.&nbsp; Have they increased in value in 25 years?&nbsp; No, unfortunately, even with the currently higher value of silver.&nbsp; An $877 price is very high for the set.&nbsp; There are other sets on eBay that cannot make even $400 for a bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased the set through the subscription at the US Mint 25 years ago for collecting enjoyment.&nbsp; The most likely reason they have never increased in value is the higher mintage, the global appeal of the Olympic coins, particularly from the host nation and a saturated market at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
