<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 342389, member: 4626&quot;]To each their own... I just have zero interest in the kind of junk that should rightly be considered a joke, the kind of stuff that they&#039;d sell on the Home Shopping Channel... now being produced my a sovereign country&#039;s legitimate Mint!</p><p><br /></p><p>At what point when you start plating, colorizing, hologramming, etc. coins do they stop becoming coins anymore?&nbsp; If you wouldn&#039;t buy this junk when it&#039;s done to coins after they&#039;re minted, why should they be any more desirable when a mint does it themselves?!</p><p><br /></p><p>That coin IS junk, as far as I&#039;m concerned... your money, buy and collect what you like of course... but don&#039;t be suprised when people like me laugh at the fact you spent money on that kind of &quot;coin.&quot;&nbsp; (Coins like that definitely need quotes around the word coin as far as I&#039;m considered.&nbsp; It may be a coin, technically, but not what I&#039;d ever call a coin legitmately worth collecting.)</p><p><br /></p><p>That &quot;coin&quot; is not totally worthless I guess, you could always melt it down and use the silver to mint a real coin out of it I suppose.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Don&#039;t take the fact I&#039;m insulting your &quot;coin&quot; personally (I&#039;m not trying to insult <i>you</i>)... the fact you like it is all the matters in the end; it&#039;s your money after all.&nbsp; It&#039;s just that by my own personal tastes, I wouldn&#039;t touch that kind of thing with a 10 foot pole.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.P.S. I&#039;d also like to go on record in saying the Canada has produced some nice coins, and I own quite a few of them.&nbsp; Loved their 1967 series they did.&nbsp; I just can&#039;t stand 98% of the junk they churn out and have been churning out in recent years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
