My NCLT Collection

wow that is a lot of coins! nice collection!

I wish I could take pictures of my coins, unfortunately, my last few tries didn't turn out so great... guess I jsut don't have the right setup... maybe i'll try another time.

How much does COA affect the value of a coin? reason why I am asking is that I never really paid attention to them... but I noticed that when I got the $350 pure gold iconic polar bear last year, I had a COA of 012/600. is that good? does it actually matter?

Thanks for the insights!

Congratulations to both you and your wife yingyang for quitting smoking, that is quite an achievement. Your coins, well as with the majority here I must agree that it is a very impressive collection.

I also quit smoking after 43 years April 10, 2013 and started Vaping as an alternative but that's another story. I started coin collecting shortly after my 1st Grand-Daughter was born in May/2013. I started with NCLT silver coins and still purchase them occasionally but quickly moved to decimals due to budget considerations - I can't budget and am now obsessed.

Anyway your story and collection are an inspiration and make me feel so much better about the many $1000s I've spent in the past 10 months or so. Again Congratulations

Congratulations on quitting don't you feel and much better.

You would have spent most of the $$$ on smokes anyway.

Hope are stories will help others.

Thank you and good luck.

Purchased these yesterday, and on my way to pick up some more.

I have one bad addiction(collecting watches)and just started another one and that's why I'm on this forum ! lol

Nice 97 flying loon. I added that to my collection recently as well.

Congrats yingyang on kicking the habit.

Where did you get those maple leafs with the Desjardins logo on the boxes?
I wasn't aware Desjardins sold coins.

A few more I picked up.
