[QUOTE="Dollar1948, post: 764323, member: 17239"]Ok..I'll come clean. Im a Canadian in Toronto and I collect UNC examples of them. Im current with them all, both mint marks, and got them all in 2 x 2's in an album. My Canadian collection requires alot of the more pricey and elusive key dates to complete, or upgrading existing coins to better grades which is a long exercise, so I wanted to continue collecting something that was reasonably priced, in which I can immedialtey see the fruits of my labour. Once I knew the State/Territorial quarters were drawing to close this seemed like a logical choice. (I got all of them as well) Theres a dealer up here approx 30KM's away that gets them from the US, charges me 2 bucks Canadian for each one, and I will also get them from ebay. If I win a coin on ebay (or buy it now), I will take advantage of shipping and handling incentives charges and order the presidential coins at the same time if they got them. This keeps the cost down. As part of my self-imposed history lesson, once I get the coins, I'll do an internet search to see exactly what this president was all about. I think they are a much nicer collector item than collecting the same old Susan B Anthony or Sasq' type designs but thats my opinion. I do draw the line with not collecting the presidential wives series..omfg..whats up with that?[/QUOTE]
