Message:: [QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1736193, member: 28451"]I would say no to the Maple Leafs.  I collect a lot of world silver coins and the quality of the Maple Leaf is too spotty for me (pun intended.)  I'll take a nice-looking coin over a .9999 silver coin anyday.  The extra "9" means so little. ASEs are nice, but boring, as they are the same design every year. Pandas are very nice and the design changes every year.  This is s great coin. Libertads are very nice, but the same design every year.  I would put them in the same league as the Silver Eagle. Philharmonics are the same design every year and many of them have nicks, scratches and other marks on them. Fiji taku is a great coin and well-produced, but the design is the same every year. Armenian Noah's Ark is nice, but the same design every year. Somali Elephant is nice and the design changes every year. Australian Koala is nice with a different design every year. Australian Kookaburra is nice with a different design every year. In short, I would skip the Maple Leaf without a doubt.  If you want coins to add to your ASEs, look at the Libertad, Panda, Taku, Kookaburra, Koala, Elephant and Noah's Ark, in that order; I would skip the Philharmonic also.[/QUOTE]
