Art Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I really like these. I believe that I've even seen an ad for a typeset of Canadian colorized quarters. I think it was in CoinWorld. Does the color come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have the Remembrance Day one. Very nice. If anyone could provide the other ones that would be great. Any condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlavicScott Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I have the Remembrance Day one. Very nice. If anyone could provide the other ones that would be great. Any condition. The Remembrance Day issue is the only one that was actually issued for circulation. All the others were strictly collectors' issues, mostly in folders.

ccg Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 2005 Poppy quarter, only available by wrecking a bookmark: IMO it's much better than the 2004 circulation issue. Those were "flat" and often got banged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualified_coinnut Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I broke the set. If you do that with the holograms I sent today, I will cry like a little schoolgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Very nice. I like the colorized coins. It's tempting to start a set. (I really don't need another set to be ignoring right now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
