pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 9:15 pm At least I'm in good company, there's a lot of people that have 10 or more. I did think my son would be impressed, but he likes silver coins. Come to think of it the Aussie gitd coin didn't do well either. At least ours has a Krause nomination. Hopefully enough of these will get melted, so they become rare again! I wonder if the mint will reduce the Mintage of the last coin in series. Report this Post to the Staff

It's such an ugly coin. Oh an 3rd Dino, but I got it from the mint. Ouch. The folks that have 10 or more purchased them at cost and try to flip them. they learned quickly not everything is flippable. I like the 3rd coin. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 11:38 pm Mostly modern NCLT. The Mint has priced their products with too much of a premium, so there is very little left, relative to a future aftermarket. You have to keep most modern NCLT mint products for many years or a decade or more, for the aftermarket to come up to the original Mint NCLT prices. I ended up giving almost $4,000 as issued Mint pricing NCLT products away. I have cherrypicked across the whole of numismatics for additions to my collection for about 15 years, since I had a philosophical change to my acquisition strategy. I still buy some NCLT in the numismatic aftermarket, but it has to be very advantageously priced, like any other numismatic item. My last really significant NCLT purchase was a Great Britain proof 1937 gold five sovereigns of George V1, and that was quite some years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 11:21 pm Few regrets. Full of hope. Most first strike coins and collector cards are duds. Quality is no better than regular coins. And so far, resale has been abysmal. (I'm unloading my collection). All other NCLTs have done pretty well, for me anyway. I've enjoyed the moment and draw satisfaction that I haven't lost it all in the process. Each coin's design is unique and deserves a second look. I spent countless hours examining my coins. But I'm no longer purchasing any coin regardless if they are NCLTs, bullion or circulation. But there are slight exceptions...... <cough> for my kids, and for <cough> my wife. (side note) On the circulation side, I regret all past ICCS purchases because I have not been able to sell on ebay as "graded coins". I've consistently lost money on reselling "graded" coins. Those are my biggest regrets. I'm almost done with "slabbed" coins - thank god. Report this Post to the Staff
wlouison Valued Member Canada 109 Posts	Posted 11/22/2013 03:25 am I don't really regret buying any coins, although I have a couple I'm still trying figure out if I rushed into. I LOVE the Maples of Peace and Good Fortune, so I wanted to complete my set. Maple of Wisdom isn't as nice, though. I bought the 2013 Fishing 1/4 Oz. silver coin and keep thinking it was a waste for me...I only bought it because I love the dog on the coin. The only consolation is its low price. The Martin Short coin wasn't as nice as I thought, but I still like it. Report this Post to the Staff
