    Looks like we're up to 36 coins and counting -- 4 cents, 1 nickel, 1 dime, 6 quarters, 1 half dollar and 5 dollars (times 2).

    Proof sets will be 18 coins (not counting the "legacy collection" if they continue that).

    We'll need a hand truck to carry these things around!

    That comes to a face value of $7.19 x 2 or $14.18 face value per mint set and $7.19 face value per proof set.
    This is getting way too ridiculous. HELLO, CANADA. We are yours.
    Just too much- i may buy the 2009 sets but they may well be my last. image

    Still has to be signed by Bush. No clue on what his stance on this is. Just not written in stone yet.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    Another fine example of politics at work.....
    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
    Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
