<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acl864, post: 342589, member: 11153&quot;]It&#039;s all about personal preference. I don&#039;t particularly care for any of the &quot;collectible&quot; coins that are of recent vintage. As far as that goes I don&#039;t collect anything that is a &quot;manufactured collectible&quot;. I much prefer objects that have become collectible due to their rarity or the passage of time. That doesn&#039;t mean I dislike modern collectible coins- it&#039;s just not what I choose to collect. </p><p>I do agree with Hulkster that the state quarters, westward nickels and presidential dollars minted in huge numbers have created a &quot;collectible&quot; with very little to interest a serious collector. On the other hand my kids love them. They can collect them because they are cheap. Through these series they are getting active in numismatics at a young age. I&#039;m sure there are millions more kids doing the same thing and that&#039;s a good thing. </p><p>As far as the Canadian mint I don&#039;t know about there special issues but nothing Canadian gets through our roll searches without going into a collection. My kids don&#039;t see alot of them and really think they are rare. Guess it&#039;s all a matter of perspective.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
