to CCF Brownfella!

Noticing one of your favourites is the 1996 Piedfort toonie. I've finally just 3 left to complete a circulation/NCLT toonie collection and that and the 1996 gold are still on my list. I'll look forward to seeing it in hand.

Thank you for the welcome wildflowerAB! I have a few of both the Gold and the piedfort. I haven't bought any in a couple years but for awhile I was watching ebay and kijiji like a hawk for any offerings a decent prices. Both coins are fairly common and I am sure if you keep a look-out you will complete your collection without breaking the bank.

Cheers

Indeed, I've slowly drawn out the completion of this toonie collection at a limit of one per month intending it'll take me until the end of summer. It's an entertaining exercise in personal discipline. LOL! The price of the 2006 gold that had me somewhat perplexed until I noticed the slightly increased weight and lower mintage.

Looking forward to your future contributions to the forum!

@Justsilver:
these are new, right?
Were they "added" to favorites, or successfully replaced the old ones, contributing to the theory, that we always look for new items, and forget the previous?

Btw, your opinion about Tut coin:
do you think, the series will be good in overall, or the first one worth grabbing anyway as affordable 5oz coin?

@Silveroid

I am always adding new coins that I like ( or love ) to my collection.

Otherwise, why bother buying them. lol.

Therefore, few new coins will replace old coins as my top five. ( or top ten. lol )


Regarding 2016 5oz King Tut Silver Coin from Scottsdale
Short and quick answer: First one ( King Tut ) shall do well, rest coins shall do ok.

My guess, of course.

No. 5: 1967 25 cent coin - I like the simple design of the bobcat

No. 4: 50 cent coin from 1959-1996 excluding 1967 - I think the coat of arms has a nice design. Although 1959-1996 50 cent coin and 1997 coin are similar, I like the former because the compartment (the bottom part with the flowers) is curved, which to me, looks nicer.

No. 3: 1967 1 dollar coin - I like the design because of how it is simple, but very complex as well.

No. 2: 1920 1 cent coin - The design of the coin with its maple leaves is why I like this coin.

No: 1: 2012 1 cent coin - I like this coin mainly because it is the last year that the coin was made.

Of course this might change in the years to come.
