I did buy one at the mint price. As far as getting all the other junk that they push, it may look nice and pretty, but I am starting to turn my collective direction into the older, more meaningful coins. About the only coin left that I have coming is the Prince Charles coin, because the wife loves royalty items, and his is the only coin left in the group.

with the fact that the mint is putting out a lot of junk, it will have to take some coin to make me jump into buying. There are too many named sets to be able to collect, lets say, loonies for a given year.
