Sorry folks, looks like I'm going to take a walk on the darkside for awhile.

But Canada hardly counts. It's more like "grayside."
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
Now that nicer old stuff is getting too expensive I actually just switched to moderns. I love the Gold Buffalo and am looking forward to the smaller denominations. It's easy to collect a series from the beginning. Just call me lazy.
<< <i>I'm certainly looking at doing a lot more darkside these days, too. I never used to really feeling a "calling" to the dark side, but all the shenanigans with the high stakes of the U.S. market -- too much doctoring, too much emphasis on slabbing, far more expensive coins despite (sometimes) much higher supply -- are making me feel the lure of the dark side. I just feel like what's going on in the U.S. market today for the kind of nicer stuff I enjoy collecting has made it much less fun than it used to be.

those are precisely why i collect 80% darkside; besides, you gotta' love the artistic value of many of the darkside coins

True. Its more of a "grayside" and I love the Canadian 50c coat of arms design and "Bluenose" on the 10c. Here's also what I miss. A 1970 Canadian 5c only has a mintage of approx 5,700,000 and it goes for very little if any premium. I hear what you say on the US coin market.
<< <i>Me too. This beautiful set I just got from the Mad One is just the ticket!
Mmmm nice toning on the 50c.
I like the dark side

The obverse came today. It's not shabby either.

Your dollar goes much farther.
There's plenty of room for all to play, too, regardless of age, budget, collecting interest, etc.
We won't even make you sign an oath of total allegiance- you're still allowed to collect Liteside coins, too.
After all, the US is part of the world (whether we like it or not), so the Liteside is part of the Darkside, which encompasses everything.
