NumisMattic2200 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Lasqueti island coin 2008 I love the way the bird has the 2008 date between its teeth but I couldn't bring myself to buy something like this when it's at such a high price! Maybe one day when this amount is trifling to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that a private mint would not be happy just to release a proof version, but also a "business strike" ... in everyday practical terms, what does this really mean? Artistically, I am with you ... it is a beautiful design. Numismatically, though, it's just 1/2 oz. silver to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Is bullion dealing really part of what its all about? To me the artistry of the design is much more a part of the hobby/business of numismatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I agree I would possibly buy it for the look but as I say at a cheaper price, after all I collect tokens (In a small way) and I do like silver LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Charlie Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I value a coin for its history, design, and bullion content. I will also pay more for better preserved examples. Price guides are an excellent way to base its value proportionally to other similar issues. By the way, that is a rather unique design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
