Terrific, Loyal, or Complete are reasonable choices for buyers...congrats to them.
Like trying to find a buyer suggests a late awakening.
Mad is harder to understand...illustrates the collector really did not know what they were doing.
There is no option in the poll for me. That said...

I put the sellers' poll on the mental health forum.
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !
I picked mad because there was no option for Stupid

My answer too.
I'd feel like I had a lot of useless crap.
why not 1982 when the "Modern era" really started??? in any event, I think you would have invested poorly although the few "winners" and the upside in Gold probably would have saved you. items like the 1995 Gold Proof Set with the ASE and the early Platinum issues would have covered many of the losers and the Gold that was bought from the mid-80's till around 2003 would have done well.
this would be an interesting spread sheet to do that might surprise us.
Oh, and how about throwing in a 2000-W gold Sacagawea dollar to seal the deal!
think about it!!
I guess the question is, did you get them (in this scenario) at the cost the mint offered? People replying "I'd feel dumb." forget gold was under $400 an ounce for almost all of the 90s.

Proof gold eagles.. you can't give those things away. LOL

As for my other 1986 "investment" it's a Proof set that's not worth much more than face value.
As long as these "products" include the 1990 no "S" proof sets, the 1999-W $5 and $10 gold eagles, the 2000 Cherrios and Goodacre dollars, and the 2007-W "frosted Liberty" platinum eagles, I'm in.

NOT including mint "errors" that I researched several years ago and much to my surprise (not) I noticed that the GREAT ones always followed a lower prior year sale number.
Not that the MINT would purposely forget mintmarks and stuff to get people to buy NEXT year's crap. Huh-uh! Nope. The MINT is a GOVERNMENT run place.
I know what the question means, but after thinking about it, if I had "every Mint product since 1986" I would be wealthy beyond belief and I would nee a building of immense size to store it all in.
think about it!!
Yeah, it would be nice to have all of the coins minted, I'd be happy being so rich.
But I think he means one of each and you bought them at the issue price.
Then I would be sad.

Were I not about to go, I'd show you.
Make a poll on the Testing forum and play with it. I bet you'll figure it out inside a couple of minutes, as long as there isn't some software glitch unique to your account.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
While I have no desire to ever get them all, I do have a preference for the gold and silver ones, so I am still guilty of this obsession.
Plenty of good quotes in this link below refer to this illness.

If collectors in 1956 had been asked the same question about every mint product (coins made for sale to collectors and not circulating coinage) made and sold from 1892 through 1954 would they have given the same answers as those posted in replies to this thread?
Those would be classics and worth a lot.....unlike the crap the mint has been putting out since 1965.

There are plenty of modern commems that are much more attractive than some of the "classic" ones.
this is a very true statement. while I would agree that the majority of Modern Commemoratives are serviceable at best there are some which are quite elegant. I am in a rather advantageous position and see them regularly, some members may not even know that some exist. a few of my favorites:
--- the Norse American with the Scandinavian Kroner included.
--- Dolley Madison.
--- Star Spangled Banner.
--- 911 Commemorative Medal.
--- the 1ozt. Platinum issues.
I think if you pull out a RedBook and look you'll find some very worthy designs which reflect what our artisans can produce when we can manage to push the almighty dollar out of the way. but I'm sort of soft, I even like some of the SHQ/National Park designs!!

So do I, and many of the National Park designs hold up very well on the 5-ounnce silver versions.
