<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 814195, member: 19065&quot;]Strictly speaking anyone can collect anything making something <i>collectible</i>. The coins you linked to are certainly true coins minted with a denomination by a governing entity and are every bit a part of numismatics, but I think they are primarily considered special designs on a bullion coin for one year of issue only and therein lies the &#039;limited&#039; nature of these coins. As the title says, these are really &#039;silver maples&#039; but feature a special design.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure why there is a 25 piece limit per customer, Apmex have been selling them since late summer of 2009 when released and they haven&#039;t run out. I don&#039;t know what the &quot;limited mintage&quot; Apmex refers to actually is, as any coin is typically limited to the year they are minted. Do you have a current mintage figure that shows a specific limited number allowed to be coined? </p><p><br /></p><p>These other coins recently came out and appear to be much more limited in mintage numbers: <a href="http://www.coinnews.net/2010/02/09/vancouver-2010-look-of-the-games-gold-and-silver-coins/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinnews.net/2010/02/09/vancouver-2010-look-of-the-games-gold-and-silver-coins/" rel="nofollow">Vancouver 2010 Look of the Games Gold and Silver Coins Launch</a> [2/9/2010] I don&#039;t really watch Canadian issues that much so I am not as up on mintage numbers for any of their coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
