<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3419573, member: 15588&quot;]The US mint did release one of their best recent commeratives with the Apollo 11 coin, but the 2019-W cent emits the stench of an arbitrary collectable created purely for the sake of making something collectable. I don&#039;t think such gimmicky and contrived releases do collectors or the hobby a service, though they may make the mint some extra money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet the Canadian Mint does seem to get away with such things at considerable profit, but they do sometimes create stunning designs. Still, the secondary market for their voluminous releases seems mostly flat, with some exceptions. Again, the mint benefits but collectors and the hobby arguably don&#039;t. I stopped buying mint products years ago, excepting the Apollo 11 coin, and I no longer have any desire to &quot;keep up&quot; with some increasingly moving, not to mention increasingly more expensive, target.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
