<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ericl, post: 1050508, member: 2697&quot;]I just got the Canadian 25¢ set for this year&#039;s Winter Olympics because I don&#039;t live there. I&#039;ve got a pretty good collection of base metal olympic coins going back most of the way. I started out with the silver Mexican 10 peso from 1968, and was able to get most of the five dollar Canadian 1972 coins at melt (yeah, these weren&#039;t base metal, but they were very cheap). </p><p><br /></p><p>Olympic coins, in recent years, have been extremely expensive with a tiny sop for the smaller collector. China last time, for example, had a series of very cheap bronze/brass coins and the rest were up there through the roof. Same with the Canadian, Greek and Italian coins from the last few years. I got the two euroses for both Torino and Athens. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look for the 50p coins and forget the rest, as you most likely cannot afford them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
