[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1546668, member: 28451"]The problem with the hobby today is there are so many limited mintage issues of so many coins worldwide that the whole significance of mintage in terms of modern coins is being gradually rendered meaningless. My approach is to buy a coin only if I like it for 1 reason or another. I will pay a hefty premium on a coin only if it has a special significance to me or if I like the design or quality. Using this criterion, I don't really think about whether I will get my money back or if I will make a profit. Yes, some of the penny coins are nice. I did get the $20 for $20 penny coin on ebay, but only because I had already obtained the maple leaf, canoe and polar bear. As far as the rest of that series goes to date, I have no interest in Queenie or the Christmas reindeer.[/QUOTE]
