One trivia, why celebrate 35th anniversary?! Ridiculous. 10, 25, 50,100 years I can understand, but 35 years? Can't wait for the 45th anniversary Trivial Pursuit coin in 2026.
Well said, @Coinsplus!
When I first started into the hobby of NCLT collecting, you could "afford" to make the occasional questionable purchase.
At the very least, you could justify making the purchase to possibly "continue" a series of coins, ensuring you had the entire collection for a theme.
But.. back then, there were fewer than 40% of today's issues on an annual basis, and there weren't as many strange
RCM anniversary / theme concoctions.
Now, dropping $120 on a coin with limited significance (ok...
no significance, given it's the "35th anniversary") makes little sense to me.
It's been a while since I've seen it posted here on the forums... does anyone have a year-to-date tally of what completing the 2016
RCM "collection" would cost? Even if we eliminate the outliers (gold kilo coins), I bet it would take very deep pockets!
Edit: Corrected spelling mistakes... was too excited typing first draft.
