Anyway Lokmar, here's another example of a coin that's very popular, even with American collectors, but isn't that valuable nor expensive by collector's standards:



1967 Canada $20 Gold.

Mintage was somewhat high, the in the hundreds of thousands, so it would never be considered 'rare'

It was and still is largely sought after for its Gold Content and is mostly considered bullion than a collectible coin.

A common piece, but ifya wanna impress yer friends or strangers, it's a good bet.


At today's market value, maybe find one for $1700-1800 US?

Quote from: JOE on June 04, 2025, 01:16:44 PMThis is one of my favorite coins that I own Lokmar:



The 1936 Canada 1 oz Gold replica coin. To the left is an actual 1936 dime.


Mintage 550.

Trouble, it's not worth very much. Despite its low mintage, it sells at or slightly above spot price only.

I paid $4199 Canadian or about $3000 USD. At the time Gold was $2500/oz, Only saving grace is the price of gold went up, so at least it's worth as much as the metal now.I might get $3300-3400 for it? Possibly $3500? But I suspect not much more than that.

That's an example of something where 'Rarity' was manufactured & isn't considered truly Rare by Numismatic standards. Hence, the 'Collector value' isn't very high. Unless the mintage is exceedingly low - like 100 or less, the numismatic value doesn't really kick in, eh?

There's a lotta examples like that. Canada Mint. US Mint. Franklin Mint, etc.

so these shiny coins in a box aren't often worth that much.

In the Coin Collecting World, something has to be really rare to be considered 'scarce' or 'rare' as a collectible. Otherwise, it's just another run of the mill product that sells for the spot price of the metal, not much more.

As promised Angeldrawers, I am responding to your posts.

I think your little pretend chocolate coin collection is cute. Almost as cute as your bald spot.

Sweetie remember after you gave me oral sex this morning you were complaining that too many people here have you on ignore. You said it pisses you off that you get very little attention on this forum.

Honeybunch, if you stay I'll reply to all of your posts. I will give you all the attention a septugenarian like you can handle.

How does that sound Sugarplum? Is it a deal?

I think JOEJ might have been serious about leaving this time

I have seen an JOEJ post in days now

And that's pretty unusual for JOEJ

If any of you happen to see JOEJ at bastard fag factory give JOEJ my best

This was my Grandfather's Weekly wage back in 1916, Lokmar:



$10 or so a week.

Unlike yer monied Granpa, he didn't make very much back then Lokmar

16 cents an hour, 7 days a week. 12 hours a day.

He shoveled coal inta the furances that powered the Steam engines, eh?

He could have never afford a gold coin.
But the most Gold he ever owned was a Gold watch or perhaps his wedding ring.

Therefore, I appreciate the sacrifices my Grandpa made for his family and future generations.

But this stuff is more valuable:



It's a Candybox full of Rare Gold Coins.

This is what they look like spread out on a Table:

Quote from: Lokmar on June 03, 2025, 10:00:19 PMHopefully that has added numismatic value and not just the metal.

There's not much numismatic value in that set Lokmar.

A lot of the stuff I like isn't that valuable, eh?

Looks pretty, but doesn't have much collector value

It's just worth a lot cuz of the metal.

Add $3300 for the gold + $1000 Platinum + $35 Silver = about $4350 USD at today's spot prices.

Even tho the mintage was low. Just 5,000 sets

And it's proof/mirror finish. Probably cost them more to make then what it was sold for, eh.

Quote from: JOE on June 03, 2025, 09:14:20 PMB'fore I go on my break, I'll show you s'more stuff from my collection, Lokmar...




One Ounce Platinum, One Ounce Silver, One Ounce Gold set

3 ounces of solid metal,  eh?

Hopefully that has added numismatic value and not just the metal.
