@libertad: heh well I bought twice as much tthe next week at below spot so it evened out. Just that when I look at that one days spike, I always get reminded of that sale.

The 2 glow Dino's #2 that I paid $60 ea for. I will be lucky to get half my in investment back. It's such an ugly coin. Oh an 3rd Dino, but I got it from the mint.

@PocketChange50 I saw this exact coin discounted for $25 last weekend! http://www.boutique-tpm.com/index.p...duct_id=8328I just can't believe how the first one could have been so popular. I love dinosaurs as much as anyone but this collection is just plain ugly. Your post made me remember reading a review of a "frustrated" customer on the RCM site where he wrote he was just dissapointed that the skull of the Queen wasn't "glow-in-the-dark". Priceless! |

5 penny set.
Haha. Just kidding. This is my best set so far.
In fact. If I don't like a coin, I will not buy it. (Candy cane for example).
I love all coins in my collection. Nothing to regret.
Cheers

I regret buying the Queen Mother silver dollar and Medal of Bravery enamel silver dollar at high prices ($350 + $250). I didn't realize the issue price was so much lower until a much later date!  Now I just buy at issue price, if/when possible...  |

@ the curse interesting site, I hope this isn't a trend that starts. I will need to check the 3rd Dino maybe it has a defect, so I can return it to the mint. @ silveroid my son isn't impressed by either Dino, he thinks they're ugly, he likes my color wildlife and ocanada half Oz collection. Unfortunely I don't know any kids under 10. My sons gang are all teens. I grabbed two of second Dino, because I feared they were going to be more expensive, and I'd never seen a gitd coin before. It wasn't as impressive as I had hoped. I bought the 3rd thinking it would help to sell the two I had. I do like this design better. It would be impressive if they'd do a sabre tooth tiger or a wooly mamoth, some of the bigger more impressive prehistoric creatures. The second coin is totally bad.

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.

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. |

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.

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. |

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.
