I collected Canadian quarters and Canadian banknotes Hmm... If foreign coins are the dark side, then I guess coins and banknotes are the light side? Come to The Light Side! |

Hey, hi Canadian-Banknotes => ... very nice of you to drop-by!! Yah, I seem to drift around this coin-place, a bit like bong-smoke ... but I must admit that at this moment in time, the darkside-force is very strong in this one!!  Edited by stevex6

My own personal story with this coin. I saw this quarter on the RCM website a couple months ago and thought it was neat, but I couldn't justify paying, what was it $29.95?, for basically a novelty item. But I really thought it was pretty cool, and the low mintage indicated a potential for investment. That's usually my indicator for buying coins and flipping them to make some cash. If I like it, there are usually others who like it too. (Usually, though not 100% accurate.) Anyway, I didn't buy it, and then watched the prices on ebay soar to $100 or more after they sold out at the mint. (I also missed out the same way on those silly glass ladybug and tulip coins.) So as I was still kicking myself, I found out from my wife that my 4 yo daughter is now on a glow in the dark kick, so double whammy. Just about a week ago I had to put up a package of glow in the dark stars, moons and planets on the ceiling in her bedroom. I'm still kicking myself about that coin. She really would have gotten a kick out of it. Good thing I haven't shown my wife it though. She would probably make me buy one from the aftermarket now. Same thing with the tulip and ladybug. Both are the wife's favorites. |

At least the RCM keeps it interesting. Modern U.S. coins are bland.....at best. |

Hey ... ummm, you guys realize that in 50 years, that sasquatch-coin has a chance to be as geeky-valuable as "Malibu-Ken doll" and/or "Steve Austin => the Six Million Dollar Man doll" ... ... yup, ya just never know which of the cheesy trinkets are gonna end-up becoming the next retro-winners, eh? => however, I do think that the "Sasquatch" quarter and/or the "Glow-in-the-dark Dinosaur" quarter certainly have as much chance, if not more, than any of the other gawdy contestants!!? => uh-huh => it's gonna be a battle to determine who wins the "Big-fish in a little pond competition!!"   |
