 Hello Mr. Ballain, gorgeous coins, however, if ya wanna save a pile of money here's some free advice. Never buy 'em the year they come out, always wait a year or two and you'll get 'em half price or less!  Glenn Edited by glenzy1

 Keep in mind that most Royal Canadian Mint products have an "unlimited" production, so any future value is virtually nil! You'd be better off collecting real Canadian coinage. Glenn |

Well Glenn, actully all of the above coin are limited mintage, most under 10,000 pieces, My top 50$ the lowest at 4,000.
That what was advertise, now if they exceed the advertised mintage that I couldnt know lol.
But yeah I buy those coin mainly for the design and perfection which I find superb,
If some appreciate good, if not well I still have pleasure looking at them :)

I love the look of proof coins....and when push comes to shove collectors collect what brings pleasure to them...plain and simple.
Its the dealers I would think that would primarily scrutinize the items for the potential short or long term investment.

Gawd0ws if you are referring to my 100$ Gold Coin, its actully 14kt, so no its not a .9999 pure gold, but eventually id like to have one, and yes the mask is very nice, the design on it is amazing:)

Check this coin out: Almost 200 years old, likely only a few hundred remaining in existence, and despite the age, the workmanship is better than most modern coins and it has historical significance:   The cost? About $50 (or less?) if remember right. |

Hi Ballain:
I think you have a super collection. Thank you for sharing.
By the way I agree with Dollar1948 100%, if you like it then go ahead and collect it and enjoy it.

Nice coins , I agree with Glen on 2 points they currently are not appreciating and he is right you can get pretty good deals on e-bay and at some dealers for a lot less than issue. I collect the 100$ gold pieces and got most of those for the gold value, 30 different pieces and a few doubles. I like them and at least feel good that I'm in for the bullion value. If you can buy close to the value it makes a great collection and who knows if coin collecting picks up the momentum, their low mintage may become a nice premium.
